Wintry Weather Increases Purchases
KENTUCKY...
The lingering and severe winter weather has caused supermarkets and hardware stores to become packed with customers looking for basic necessities including bread, milk, and canned foods. Shoppers were looking for items at the Food City's two locations, at the two Sav-A-Lot markets, at Lowe's and Walmart, as well as other retailers in the area. Aside from supermarkets, hardware stores saw a heavy load of customers. The kids were anticipating school being cancelled in Eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia. With a forecast of continuing snowfall and bitterly cold temperatures, people will be looking for shovels, salt and any item that will help them to weather the weather.
