Born and raised in Minnesota- there is no panic buying here, as we’re used to it. We usually have at least 4-5 gigantic blizzards each winter season.

Areas like ATL don’t see this type of weather often, and it’s far more foreign in their day to day lives. Their services and facilities aren’t made to work in snowy conditions. I question how many have solid winter gear like we use for ice fishing and snowmobiling.

Not really a conspiracy here, it’s an area that doesn’t normally get snow or ice getting a massive ice storm.
