Storm's Coming, We're Having French Toast!!

Three things you are hard pressed to find in a grocery store around here when they announce a storm around here:

  1. Bread
  2. Milk
  3. Eggs

Why is this? Whatever the forecasted amount, these things disappear from the shelves.

I understand before a hurricane you want to stock up on potable water, canned goods, flashlights, batteries, stuff like that. The damage from a hurricane is much greater and the clean up is much more difficult. But 4-6 inches of snow will be plowed within a few hours, certainly by the next day.

I just don’t get it is all. I can see buying rock salt and shovels in advance of a storm. But presumably you have enough milk in the fridge to last a few days. It’s just odd.

I just want to say that your thread title cracked me right up. :smiley:

The stores around here were just packed with little old ladies ready to run over your ankles if you got in the way of their bread and milk.
