They could do that identical thing for snow in Georgia!!!
And don't dare go to the grocery store lest you get trampled under foot at the dairy and bread isles!!!!
It goes back to our Grandmothers...not being able to get to the store...not having lots of stuff in the pantry, so you had to make sure you had what you needed. We do the same thing when a hurricane is coming...though it's a moot point now that we have pantries full of soup, and whatever else we need.
