PLATTE CITY, Mo. — As snow began to fall Monday morning, Platte City residents found respite inside a Price Chopper just off Interstate 29.

Aisles were packed with hustle and bustle due to KSHB 41 Weather forecasts expecting a larger accumulation in the northern portion of the Kansas City metro.

While some shoppers walked away with a single bag, others planned a larger haul in anticipation of a week full of winter weather.

“A few extra things, right? Like the hamburger and bread,” said Platte City resident Allan Nordike.

With another storm on the radar for Friday, Nordike said he'll just stay inside and watch the Chiefs game, which can be viewed locally on KSHB 41.

Shopper Jeff Faudere seconded Nordike's plan to enjoy the comforts of home.

“If it comes, I’m not going to get out,” Faudere said. “Being retired, I don’t need to, so I stay out of the stuff.”
