Bread and Milk

We’re supposed to get pounded with snow overnight, something like six to nine inches between midnight and morning.

There is this phenomenon in New England that is really hard to explain, but when we’re supposed to get snow, everyone flocks to the grocery store for bread and milk. Now, when we’re supposed to get snow, I tend to get stuff to make a nice dinner because I like to cook when it’s cold outside. But seriously, the Revere Stop and Shop was practically out of milk. I had to buy a quart of organic whole milk because they were out of 1% and 2% milk.

Don’t people normally have enough stuff to get them through a week anyway with their normal shopping? Is it really that necessary to buy out the store, literally?
