Despite the rain, sleet and snow, some Tulsans were still trying to shop til they drop.

Whether it's last minute shopping for their holiday feast, or bulking up to wait out the storm, shoppers were out in full force. But the weather is putting a new spin on holiday traffic; some shoppers say traveling a few miles took more than an hour.

But it's not scaring them away from the stores. Reasorâ€™s manager Connie Jones, "Crazy. It started out unusually busy everybody just running and getting last minute things and from then on it's been mayhem."

Shopper, Tim O'Leary: "Because the weather's so crazy it's gonna be like this for another couple of days they're closing on Christmas its gotta get done, shoulda done it last night."

Despite the weather, Reasor's managers say their stores didnâ€™t close early Monday.
