Merchants along the east coast lost out, at least temporarily, on some after Christmas business thanks to a major snowstorm that kept lots of people home. Forecasters were calling for accumulations of 10 to 20 inches between New Jersey and New England.
Snow Way To Do Business
Many an east coast merchant
Is not a happy camper;
They had hoped for lots of shoppers
Till Mother Nature’s winter damper.
Lots of after Christmas sales plans
From New Jersey up to Maine
Were cancelled of delayed some
With a blizzard raising cain.
Shoppers dreamed of savings
On things from shirts to blouses.
But all the snow from down below
Confined them in their houses.
