And if you wait to go get bread, all the panicing hoards will have snatched it all up so they could hunker down during your horrific four inch snowfall and eat themselves sick.
I hate when I we have the threat of a snowstorm and people start getting worried that they wont have enough food in the house that they can't last the day it takes to get theroads cleared. Things like the blizzard of '78 just don't happen anymore, our weather predicting ability has so improved since 1978. But still people are always reminded of it when the weatherdroids say it's going to snow and they get all hurry hurry, we gotta stock up on bread and milk...
I do nothing but look forward to the snow. I am pretty sure that even if we get four feet of snow, the roads will be sufficiently clear within a day that if I need to, I can get out.
During the blizzard of '78, my family was still able to walk the 3 miles to the nearest convenience store to get milk for the neighbor family who had two toddlers and a newborn. Oyr street, being a dead end didn't see a snow plow for 6 days following the end of the storm, it wasn't a priority. But we still got out, we had to do something, we were going nuts being cooped up for so long in a house with no heat in all but two rooms (we were able to close off all the rooms in the house and just live in the kitchen and living room with the woodburning stove) and no water (we had well water, no power for the pump). We ended up melting snow on the woodburner just to flush the toilet. Ah the memories...
