If you know you know, ole walmart forcast was right about it being cold lol

everyone making French toast

Bread , Milk , Eggs sounds like French toast.

Southern people eat bread to stay warm?

That amazed me when I saw it with my own eyes. Forecast for a couple days in the 20s and 30s, and every grocery store was out of bread and milk. Amazing.

I really don't understand it but it's supposed to get cold all the bread and milk will be gone from the shelves. And depending on how bad it's supposed to be it will go from just the regular bed to any and all bread products. Same with milk.
Think it's for sandwiches when the power goes out

That behavior is human nature, Wofle. It happens up here too when a storm is coming, even though we actually have winter.

Y'all actually have stuff in black for keeping roads open though lol

If y'all are only worried about the roads being closed, and not losing power, why bread and milk? Why not beer and sausages?

Who dosen't already have a year's worth of beer and sausages?

^^^^
. seriously though really don't get the bread and milk thing, honestly it's kinda a meme at this point and maybe even a traditional thing

Maybe the same people who don't have a lifetime supply of ammo?

when you get 10 inches of heavy wet snow then it goes -20 overnight , you have a very narrow window to get it off the road.

the issue is even with plows , there are not enough drivers to work the hours needed to clear everything with 3 consecutive days of snow.

once you go sub zero nothing leaves the road you can only sand over the ice

you have to let a plow driver sleep some time.

also some counties this year appear to be balancing the roads budget on not needing to plow , you can see when you hit a county line that the roads get better or worse.

we also have a lot of transplants and people who forgot how to drive during covid , or watch so much network TV that they think every little snow is snowmagedon.

There are some irresponsible folks out there.

Being able too make bread from scratch is one of the most overlooked survival skill


From scratch I mean, from just seeds/grains

Humans have been doing since the beginning of time,,,,,,, very few can do it today

One of my bucket list things is to get a little grain mill and learn

In a pinch two rocks will work

I'm one of those few. Although I much prefer using yeast than dinking around with sourdough or salt rising bread. I do keep a sour dough starter, but rarely use it.

Sometimes it’s best to give the maintainer a day or 2 before heading out to get milk and bread and hopefully they’ll have enough cleared off so you can squeeze by if another car comes the other direction, otherwise it’s rock paper scissors to see who’s gonna back up lol

The milk is to make a big pot of sausage/potato soup and the bread is for grilled cheese sandwiches to go with the soup.

The weather might be miserable but there is no need to not eat good!

Bannock is simple to make anywhere,even on an open fire on a stick.
Frybread if you got a frypan and a bit of saltpork.
