The minute there is even the slightest HINT of snow or really cold weather, the grocery stores sell out of bread and milk. Pictures like this are all over the news:



It is really amusing. Never sell out of anything else. Just bread and milk. We always joke that it is an elaborate plot by bread makers and dairy farmers. I don't know about you guys, but if I'm going to be trapped indoors with my family for a few days with no ability to go anywhere or do anything, I'm hitting the beer aisle!

It is cold outside today but it's just cold (23F). And the schools and businesses are all closed. That's how we roll in the ATL. You guys up north would laugh at us.
Its cold up here again today....-43c (-45.5F)....but I wouldn't laugh at you over your situation. Cold is something we are used to, our bodies are somewhat acclimatized to it.
I've been to S Carolina in the summer and I cant figure out how you guys in those climates don't melt away!!!!!!
Stay warm.
