Nobody really knows, I don't think; it's just this weird mentality that southerners get, when the weatherman says a single word about any frozen precip, all the crazy southerners head to the store to buy bread and milk... and bottled water, if they're on a well, because most wells have electric pumps. If you live way out in the boonies enough to have a well, and the power goes off... well, you may not have power again for 7-14 days.

Not just a southern thing. Up North it was the pre battle cry before a storm hit. I had to laugh because first sign of storm and everyone and their mothers was at the super market. The shelves were empty in hours!!
Ah the snow shovel strip tease!
I used to go out bundled to the max and by the time I was done I was in my tee shirt!!!
God I miss those days!!!
Come on up plenty of snow to shovel. Still have 2 driveways to clear. Just got wheelchair ramp , walks and cat paths so far.Ah the snow shovel strip tease!

btw I got one of those curved handle snow shovels last winter. A darned good investment. Much easier on the back than the straight handle ones.

I didn't know that! When I lived in MI and the weatherman said snow, most folks were like, "yeah, so what?"
That was when I first developed my weather channel addiction; as soon as we passed thanksgiving, it was all weather channel all the time, while I eagerly awaited snow. 
Then learned, it doesn't always snow a lot in the Detroit area; when we moved to Lake Orion, just north of Pontiac, I got to see some SNOW! The first winter, I saw it drop about 30 inches of snow in about 90 minutes -- I was both thrilled and appalled! Andria
aaaahhhhh thats sweet you clear paths for ya kittys
i remember back in the UK we had two cats one black and one white ying and yang
the white one looked at snow with a disgusted look
and the black one well she used to jump, dive, roll, and bounce about in it she loved it
the white one he used to just sit on the porch look at the snow then look at me as if to say "well....... what ya gonna do about it "
Well glad you Northeners cleared that up.I just thought you guys were soaking the bread in milk and sticking it over your ears to keep warm.
No wonder you're so grumpy.
Thank God you don't have to shovel sunshine.

Fraidy is 14 years old and the snow is tall as he is. He does appreciate me clearing snow for him.
Time for a snow blower!

Most people in NY are the same way "fugeddabodit"!!
Ying & Yang! Love the names!!
We let our kitty experience snow, in Feb 2014.... she took about 3 steps, lifting up her paws like "oh, ick!" then meowed and ran back into the garage! I don't think she was impressed.
The other day when it started sleeting, she'd been sitting in front of the sliding glass door... when all the ice pellets started making their usual racket, she ran and hid!
