I've never been able to get this. The store shelves around here are totally devoid of milk and bread. I don't hardly drink much milk and I only use bread for toast and sandwiches. A loaf will last my wife and I for more than a week. Why in the hell do people stock up on just milk and bread before a snowstorm?

It's so they can enjoy a skin-nourishing bath and then dry off without getting any towels dirty.

Should say why do people go full retard before a snow storm. There isnt a loaf of bread in OKC at the moment, and we are getting a whopping "up to an inch"
 . Gotta love media hype.

Dumbass southerners.
It's because it can be difficult to get to the grocery store in the next few days, so people push their normal shopping forward. What you're seeing isn't everyone in the county buying milk, but rather a case study in just how low a grocery store's inventory really is. Every time it snows south of the mason dixon line, a bunch of geniuses start threads criticizing people for not wanting their wives to drive on ice. |

I agree, I've seen it up here too and I'll never figure it out. The longest I've been snowed in without being able to get down the road was maybe 24 hours after the end of a storm and that was over 30 inches of snow.

Even when the power went out they had one lamp by the register and a floodlight covering the store (not sure if they were being run off a battery or if there was a generator i didn't see/hear) and the cashier had a bag of money, a calculator, and a pen and paper.

They should be stocking up on some hearty Belgian Ales. Not only fills your stomach, but keeps you warm and helps the time go by nicely. The Monks knew what they were doing.

There are two additional effects which haven't been mentioned:
1) Even if you aren't worried about the weather, you may be worried about people who are worried about the weather. If you don't beat them, you're out of milk for a few days regardless of snow. So, those purchases get pushed forward too. 2) Some people like to go grocery shopping before bad weather just so they can get on the internet and make fun of all the people they saw grocery shopping before bad weather. |

Perishable items that many people use every day...plus if it's bad enough the stors wont get their resupply as the delivery trucks would be stuck as well.

Alcohol doesn't keep you warm. No, but if you drink enough, you won't care that you're cold. The reason for bread is simple. In the event of a power outage, there are a number of people with electric stoves that won't be able to cook. Sammiches for everyone. |

This is a southern thing. My sister lives in Richmond, so I know it gets crazy prior to snowfall.
In the north, we just go to the store whenever we need something. Unless you live in New York, in which case, you're stranded because the city workers take 4hr breaks during an 8hr shift.

My mom won't be able to get out for a few days if the weather takes a shit. I will make sure she has plenty of milk. We already have bread enough for a week. I might pick up some other stuff for her. No reason not to be ready for a week or two if I can't get home from traveling due to weather.
