It's been too many years since I lived in Maryland, but wasn't it bread and toilet paper that the wild-eyed crowds went for prior to a snowstorm?

Those were the two big ones, but people would buy enough food to feed at least two third-world countries.

All in all, snow ain't that bad! Relax and deal with it!

The traditional trio is milk, bread and toilet paper.

Several years ago, I was listening to my favorite radio station one sweltering July afternoon when they had a new traffic reporter. The newbie said something about a "flurry of accidents." The DJ jumped in and said, "Pardon me, Dave, I know you are a professional airborne traffic journalist, but you are new to Baltimore radio. Around here, you NEVER make any unexpected reference to snow like using the words flurry, flakes, dusting and so forth. If you do, you will cause a run on milk, bread and toilet paper at the supermarkets." I darn near ran off the road I was laughing so hard. The problem is IT'S TRUE!
