Last minute shopping before storm

Shoppers have one more day to head to the mall before a snowstorm is expected to hit the area. For some, it could be one of the last full-days of shopping.
The parking lot at Eastview Mall in Victor was packed full of cars tonight.
“It actually took us forever to find a parking spot out here,” said Judy Addison, a shopper.
“I almost got in five accidents in the parking lot!,” said Brenden Jones, another shopper.
Come Sunday, the lots could be piled high with snow.
“Oh, i'm so psyched,” Jones said. “I love it!"
But many shoppers say they are not as excited. That is exactly why they were getting the rest of their gifts before the storm sweeps into the Rochester area.
“We only got one weekend after this,” said Stacey Saxman. “If we don't get it done now, what are you going to do?"
Lines to talk to Santa Claus was also long Friday night. For many kids, it was their last chance to get the man in red their wish lists?
“I can't wait to tell him what I want,” said 4-year-old Jake Williams. “(I want) junglebook action figures!"
And little Savannah Addison stood in line with her mother, waiting to ask for a Barbie Dreamhouse.
“They just had to see Santa," said Judy Addison.
Christmas is less than two weeks away, so some say a little snow, or even a lot of snow, won’t stop people from getting to the malls.
“At Christmas time,” said Susan Spitale, “everybody just pushes through and does what they have to do to get the job done.”
