How to prepare for winter storms with just #stormchips

If there's one thing in this world we know to be true, it's that no winter storm is complete without a bag of chips to make your day off that much more comforting and fattening.

As word of the first storm for eastern and southern Newfoundland spread, the obligatoryapocalyptic-like lines at the grocery store began and yes the chip aisle started to deplete.

There's prepared.

And then there's overkill.

It's not just for the birds but they enjoy it too.

Rule No.1 of #stormchips: wait for the storm.

But for some, it was just too late.

We've fallen so in love with concept of eating whatever you want on a storm daythat we've turned it into a conteston our Facebook page, with the hashtag#snowsnacks.

There's nothing to worry about if you've missed out of storm chips this time around.There will be plenty more opportunities to come.
