The joke around these here parts is that when the dairy stores have an
overstock of milk and bread, they bribe the TV weathercasters to
forecast snow.
The joke around here is that, when it snows, all of Southeast PA gets
a craving for french toast (milk, bread, eggs).
Back in high school I had a part-time job as a cashier in a Southeast
Pennsy grocery store. (Weis Markets, Ahead of the Rest!) That was
twenty years ago, but the joke was the same. When the mess was all
over we'd wonder why no one ever bought syrup or even cinnamon. Nor
any bacon to go with it. That French toast was going to be awfully
dull....
If you look at, say, the Red Cross' list of good things to have on
hand in case of natural disaster, there is a distinct lack of bread,
milk, and eggs.
(For Scandihoovians, not panicking when snow is predicted is a matter
of national pride.)
