There's no storm in the forecast for next Tuesday (Jan 3). High of 48F. A bit of rain for Saturday (Dec 31). High of 54F on Sunday (Jan 1). Those are 9-12 degrees C temps.
The roads are clear.

To your comment about thinning the inventory, this is happening all over the place. New vinyl is king again compared to crate picking used vinyl. Owners realize there's no reason to keep the complete works of Boz Scaggs at $1 a pop, when instead they can make the shop look cool and trendy. Those used crates got picked to death. Last few stores I've visited have nearly nothing used anymore, it's all new.
(* No real offense to Boz Scaggs, but if you've ever been a crate picker you know exactly what I am talking about.)

Be interesting to know whether, despite an increase in time to produce an order, is there a significant savings in cost of milk/cream/sugar/stirrers not lost to wastage and theft?

If they smell kinda questionable, probably Bradford pear trees. They are hardy in cities but don't have the best scent when they bloom.
