Southern wimpiness

It's supposed to snow or there will be an ice storm or something tonight, so the grocery store is PACKED full of people buying $300 worth of groceries each. As if all the stores are going to be closed for 2 weeks. I would not be surprised if during rush hour there are lots of wrecks anticipating the ice. Sheesh.

I know this weather doesn't happen very often down here, but does it have to be construed as a major emergency? Again, sheesh.
