I just heard about the snow at home although no reports yet on the quantity and devastation caused by it. Those should start to come in around 2:00pm my time. One thing for certain is that the grocery stores are getting a run on their bread and milk stock. Why is that?

I usually buy about one loaf of bread every six months in the States, less if I miss a trip to the beach. Milk I don't buy at all but usually keep a week's worth of soy milk, which is what I drink instead. Do people actually forego their regular menu planning to live on sandwiches and toast when it snows? I would attribute it to the overall condition of our (crumbling and poorly maintained) power transmission infrastructure, except that people have been hoarding bread and milk during snowfalls my entire life. A three inch snowfall didn't mean a week without electricity, just a week without school.
