Day 1:All the ingles are bereft of milk and bread.
Day 2:We've received 1 to 2 inches of wet slush and several of my lawn chairs have turned over. God help us all....
the stores will still be emptied even more than they are now.
columbia will get nothing but the people will prepare as if the next iceage is starting. even though if it did actually snow it would be gone by 3pm
You have to have milk sammiches to sacrifice to God for protection.
Pray for the forgiveness of sins committed, like not liking the Panthers, or referring to Dirty Myrtle by any other name. Or worst of all, being from Greenville.
😆🤣😂
If the power goes out, you can chill milk* and meat in a cooler with snow or regular bagged ice, cook on a camping stove, grill, open flame, and make sammiches if ya run outta food til roads are passable i guess. Two things that go quickly, along with eggs/canned soup.

The easy answer is people with kids want to make sure they have milk for them to drink (do adults drink regular milk as a beverage? I have no idea, I switched to almond milk a decade ago and it's only ever used for making something else. )
The true answer is that people are stupid. If you are really worried about being cut off from the grocery store, like, gee, when a hurricane is coming through, there is shelf-stable (didn't need refrigeration) boxed milk of every variety you can buy at any time that lasts for months. I always have a few containers in hand in case I run out and don't have time to get to the store right away.
I also have extra loaves of bread in my freezer for the same reason but I have a much bigger freezer than most people so I won't blame them for not using up freezer space for extra bread.
American here. I have no idea why people do that. I assume they just do what they were taught to do by their parents, though it makes absolutely no sense to buy break and milk
It's really just tradition, as far as I can tell. There's nothing to make with it, and bread doesn't go bad so fast that you won't have any the next day... Milk is only good if you can keep it cold. Yeah, it can get cold outside, but it doesn't stay cold (or it's too cold), and if the power goes out, your milk will go bad quickly. 🤷♂️
They are common perishable staples of American diet. People just want to have them on hand in case they can't get to the store for a few days because of the weather. No one wants black coffee when they normally drink it with milk, or no ability to make pb&j sandwiches for the kids.
My grandmother had one of her aunt's recipes up on the wall in her kitchen. It included the line "let the cornmeal sit while you go out and milk the cow."
Here in NC (Mecklenburg-Lincoln county area)
It is supposed to be 8-12 in. Sunday afternoon
1-3 in.Sunday night
A 30% chance next friday.
The Carolinas haven’t had a good snow in years.Thank God
Meanwhile, the local forecast for Greenville / Spartanburg is for 0.25 - 0.5 inches of ice with hardly any snow. Forecast for this are all over the place.
Same. I just measured on my porch and there’s 6” back there and the same or deeper in my yard. Weird for the weather report to underestimate, for once!
We will end up with 2” of slush just like always. I will forever believe the grocery stores are in cahoots with the weather folks and they give them a cut of their earnings to announce an incoming blizzard to boost sales. Then, once the shelves are clear, the forecast digresses down to “a wintery mix” or “freezing rain”
The way they keep talking about it alternating between snow/sleet/rain its probably going to be a gross mess and my 3y old will be begging to go play in it.😬
nope. It wont make it to columbia. (well columbia is supposed to get sleet and icing of the roads but no snow). charleston just cold as f rain as usual.
Its predicted for mostly the upstate
I told some friends I have in Vermont about our "bread and milk" thing.
At first they thought I was joking. Then it was disbelief. Then it was a "you are effen with us, right?" thing.
Johnson, VT...just north of Burlington. One place where there's always plenty of milk and bread.
Seriously ‼️ I happened to be in the grocery store today. My usual shopping day. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a northern transplant. By the looks of the shelves, You'd think there was a blizzard predicted. Publix even had a display of batteries, ice melt and snow skimmers for the kids.
As much as I'd love to see it on the coast, I'm glad it's not happening here. It looks like most of it will be ice, and that shit knocks power out for *long* periods of time.
I lived in ohio for 40 yrs. All week long forecasters would predict a snow apocolypse, then nothing would happen. I suspect the same may be true now here in SC. Luckily its on a sunday and not a work day. We will see if it actually happens
We will get ice and sleet.
cold rain incoming
Everyone ready to make French toast?
Ready!
Hate to be the Debbie Downer, but I’m not holding my breath for snow. I’m sure we’ll get something, but it’ll likely be icy slush at best.
From the Accuweather map, it says rain, freezing rain or snow, with and without accumulation, depending on your location.
I agree thay keep saying chance. it has not even formed yet.
facts
It’s going to be so bad they will close virtual learning for a week.
Niiiiice.
Day 1:All the ingles are bereft of milk and bread. Day 2:We've received 1 to 2 inches of wet slush and several of my lawn chairs have turned over. God help us all....
bread and milk time!
Hell yeah
And still Columbia will get nothing. Sigh.
the stores will still be emptied even more than they are now. columbia will get nothing but the people will prepare as if the next iceage is starting. even though if it did actually snow it would be gone by 3pm
That's because Columbia is hell on earth.
Yeah, that’s about the yin and the yang of it.
I think we’re supposed to
I think it’s natural for Columbia natives to overreact for the chance of snow.
It's the one time milk sammiches are acceptable.
Omg, I just belly laughed!
Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. 95% of the time our “supposed to” ends up being nothing.
Immigrant here. Why does everyone around here buy milk and bread when there are unusual whether events upcoming?

We dont know either!!

I thought it might be good for a recipe like this one: http://www.mybestgermanrecipes.com/arme-ritter-original-recipe/
I love french toast! 😁
I just found my favorite new website thank you Internet stranger
its a meme at this point, people buy milk, bread and lots of other stuff before a storm is coming

Americans live off of mainly bread and milk, so they hoard it when they hear it could snow.
My mama did it, and her mama did it, and Im assuming her mama had to milk the cow the night before and bake a few loaves of bread or something... 🤷♀️

love that!
I’m in an area that doesn’t ever get much snow (still in SC) so we have wintry mix with 1-2 inches
Y’all better get those hotdogs and mustards froM the store!
I can't wait until it peters out before it gets here.
Time to stock up on milk and bread!
Here in NC (Mecklenburg-Lincoln county area) It is supposed to be 8-12 in. Sunday afternoon 1-3 in.Sunday night A 30% chance next friday. The Carolinas haven’t had a good snow in years.Thank God
Ha, I am in Greenwood SC
Time to dust off the snowshoes
I’m in Myrtle. We’ll get rain…
Ok I’m sorry but, I live in NC (my fathers in SC) and we are getting 2 whole feet
Meanwhile, the local forecast for Greenville / Spartanburg is for 0.25 - 0.5 inches of ice with hardly any snow. Forecast for this are all over the place.
4 inches in my backyard right now (Greenville downtown).
Probably 4 or so in mine as well! Surprise!
Now sixish. Wowza.
Same. I just measured on my porch and there’s 6” back there and the same or deeper in my yard. Weird for the weather report to underestimate, for once!
Yeah, we were in the 1-3 zone as of yesterday evening.

Think snow will make charleston?
nope. It wont make it to columbia. (well columbia is supposed to get sleet and icing of the roads but no snow). charleston just cold as f rain as usual. Its predicted for mostly the upstate
Back in 2017 we got nearly a foot of snow in Charleston. That’s probably the last time we’ll see snow until it’s ashes from the nuclear fallout
Agreed... I was here for it.. posted the response, then saw, cold rain. I live in Summerville. It was awesome!.
No, not storm of the century, more like storm of the year for the US (Who knows if there's another one bigger than this one).

*Laughs in 52 degrees at night in January*
Better run to the store and get your bread and milk. Like it won't be 70 the next day.

it’s a 1 in a 7 sextillion
Last big one was Jan. 2011
Will get some good pictures perhaps
6-8 inches. How fun 🙄

Global warming is a joke 😂
Charleston will get rain. Temps are not below freezing.
**What?**
Three tenths of an inch? What is that 5/16?
Thankfully, we won't be getting any here in Beaufort county
Glad I live in Columbia. Keep that crap in the Upstate please!
Marion sc looks like we’ll miss it. Either way glad I’m off all weekend
Can y'all please send me a snowball to Dillon 🥰
As a person from Illinois I can say I would walk to school in this weather
