Our crews visited a neighborhood grocery store and found dozens of people stocking up. Shoppers say there's nothing more motivating than a snowstorm. Shopper Donald Liechty says, “Yeah I wanted to get out and get what I could get before it got too bad. I probably had enough to last a week at home but a little more don’t hurt.” Shopper Mo Gomez says, “Milk and juice for the three year old gotta have that or they would be having a heart attack or something.” Employees say they worked non-stop for two hours yesterday re-stocking milk in preparation of the bad weather.
