Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
People also mob the grocery stores to buy bread and milk.
I really don't get the milk, as it has a seriosly short shelf life (and nassssty death throes) without proper refrigeration. If the power goes out, your making cheese whether you want to or not.
BTW, very few snowfalls in my lifetime have been heavy enough to keep people in their homes for more than 24 hours.
Much depends on where you live. If you're reasonably urban, or even suburban, and slightly adventurous, it's amazing what's in walking distance even if the plows haven't gotten through yet. When you live in the rural North, and the nearest anything is five miles away on the roads that the plows get to last, it happens at least once during most winters.
Omnis just ordered Shir to the bedroom. Heh heh heh.

I know my family can't be the only one to store milk on the porch in snowy weather.
The seven months I was forced to live with my mother and her second husband after college and before I moved to Arizona, I used to stash various foodstuffs in between the glass panes in the double-hung window in my bedroom so I wouldn't have to face the (now, thank Jebus, former) stepfather any more than necessary.
ETA: Well, I only did that in the winter. No use letting good Bailey's go bad just for pride.

Best. New Years. Ever.
Why bread and milk? Probably they're the items that people most think they'll run out of if they're trapped in their homes for days by the snow. (If it were me, I'd get beer and cookies.)
actually, there was a study, and they found that the top items were not, in fact, bread and milk, but beer and diapers.

Running out of diet Coke would get me out of the house.

See, now that's smart...
I was supposed to be work busy this week. After two weeks of NOT being work-busy. To make myself feel justified.
So instead, two of my three days in the field (my two trips to Portland) have now canceled on me. Because of the "weather". Dear lord. And I'm wondering if Thursday's thing (which is HALF A MILE AWAY FROM ME. I COULD WALK TO IT. (But granted, the other people attending maybe can't)) will cancel on me too. And today I just got a list of people I am supposed to transition my shit to. Annnnnd, my boss still doesn't know if we have work for once that's over. GREAT. That makes me feel SO MUCH BETTER about the idea that I'll continue to get paid. NOT.
I think I'd stock up on TP and sanitary products. I say this having been stationed where the latter products nearly came to rationing at one point. Bars of soap and chocolate did.

Or . . . finally a use for all those orphan socks.
