I went to the store at the end of my street for a gallon of milk. They were out of gas as was the Cumberlands down the road. You couldn't find a parking spot at the the big-Y grocery store. They have several hundred spots.
Today I wake up and find 6" of snow in the drive way. Streets are clear and no power outages in the area.
So yes it was a

"panic"

situation around my place. I will never understand people who are so unprepared for a small weather event.
