Snow Storm Approaching! Time to Hit Up ... the Bank?

So reports the Washington Post.

In my prior post, I discussed how there's been stampedes at the local supermarkets. But why this happens at the banks is more puzzling. If most people are going to be trapped in their homes this weekend, why bother getting money from the bank if they can't spend it anywhere?

One woman is quoted as saying:

"I am just taking care of bills before the snow hits."

Well, doesn't that just involve signing checks?

HT to Sharon.
