Scotz, I think the main problem you had was you were in Nashville. I drove to Murfreesboro and back and didn't that many problems. Only two in fact, and it was the first time I drove in the snow. You're right though, people around here buy the oddest things for bad weather. They should be stocking up on lamp oil/candles, can soups, bread is fine, just about any kind of food that doesn't need to be kept cool. That way if the power goes out, you're not opening the fridge and freezer all that much. Also, you have no way of cooking it in the first place really. Unless you have a wood stove.
