You're seeing a big shift in the spending patterns of consumers.

Spending patterns last year for the weekend of Dec. 7 when the storm hit were significantly above the average for the holiday season, up 19 percent, ... While it's difficult to predict exactly how consumers will respond this time around, a winter storm certainly does increase the convenience appeal and the likelihood that consumers will shift their spending from offline to online channels.

Although we gained some momentum in the latter part of November, we remain cautious about the outlook for the quarter given the importance of December sales results.
