I never rush to the grocery. I figure I've got enough stuff to survive for a week or so.
There is ice everywhere here. The snow wasn't the problem...it is the sheets of ice that is on the roads right now. Pretty much the whole Birmingham area and even south in Shelby county is not safe right now to drive.
"Lucked out" and only got snow here. Maybe 2 inches but the streets cleared pretty well by the evening. The temperature was below freezing before the snow hit which is better than getting rain or snow melt and then freezing temperatures.
We usually get the ice. I was able to sweep the snow off of my windshield when I left work Friday night without having to scrape ice. I parked at 4am and the snow didn't really get started till around 6am. Schools were closed. Ground is covered with snow. Most traffic issues occurred during the late morning and mid-day.

Here in southern Ohio, ours started out as rain, changed to ice and then snow. We dismissed 2 hours early because of the icy roads, hills and rural area. We ended up with about 3-4 inches of snow but still went to school on Friday.
We have maybe 15" of snow now packed down onto the roads and are getting up to a few more inches today. Then it will turn to freezing rain then rain. Roads are going to be impossible probably through tomorrow at least. May see some flooding nearby. We are getting an "atmospheric river" coming off the Pacific. They are saying up to 2 inches of rain on top of this. Not good.Going to be a big old mess. But I'm good. Bought steaks and taters today. Had already taken off Monday and Tuesday. Excited for the game. Dreading the weather.
P.S. Is server traffic really that busy today? Haven't seen this many "server busy" messages in a long time.

We could eat decent for a week and could probably last a month (if we only ate canned goods) for a month without going to a grocery store.

Roads are borderline impassable in Trussville. I can't get out of my driveway. Solid layer of ice and it's steep. People all around my area are reporting ice on the roads on Waze, even I59.
My dad, being stubborn just like my papaw on his side, decided to go out to get food. Calling me asking why he's not moving on 59. As if he has to ask.

I have always kept canned goods on hand. comes from a college days and always making sure I had some form of food.

No. I was dead set on getting to Home Depot earlier today to get replacement weather stripping because I notice a draft wafting in my front door. Mrs. Dub talked me out of it. Good thing because I tried to go and get my recycling bin off the street shortly thereafter and couldn't bring it up without keeping to the grass. My driveway is nothing but black ice at the moment. If I was like my dad I'd still be trying to defrost my driveway to get my car back up it.
Speaking of which, here's my driveway right now:
It's hard to tell, but it's quite steep. Hope it thaws tomorrow. Already planning to salt it and get to work Monday morning.

In looking at your new surveillance pics, I thought your front yard looked a bit steep....
Yep. In addition to that, we live up on top of a hill. We generally stay cooler than everyone else. Whatever they're reporting in my area, subtract around three degrees and you'll have them temp reported on my weather station.
The wind can be pretty crazy up here too. Neighbors lose a lot of shingles whenever it storms. We went ahead and installed metal to have done with it.
LOL. Didn't before we moved back to Trussville. We lived on 18 acres on a mountainside when we lived in Altoona 3 years ago. Quarter mile long gravel job. Maintenance costs sucked.
