ROCHESTER, N.Y. — With severe weather expected, people have been flocking to grocery stores ahead of the storm.
At the Wegmans on East Avenue in Rochester Saturday afternoon, the parking lot was filled with hundreds of cars, and shoppers crowded the aisles.
Every checkout line was open, and some lines were so long they extended into the aisles. Many shoppers were seen leaving with toilet paper, paper towels, and bottled water. Shelves with items like eggs, milk, and frozen food were beginning to thin.
“I kind of prepared,” Megan Black said. “I got a big thing of water and made sure all my electronics are charged, got another big charger as well, made sure that was fully charged just in case we lose electricity. But yeah, just trying to stay warm.”
Some shoppers expressed they weren’t too concerned about the upcoming storm, saying it’s just part of living in Rochester. However, they still plan to be prepared.
News10NBC’s First Alert Weather Team expects the snow to begin Sunday at around 9-10 a.m., with the total snowfall range from the storm expected to be 10-18 inches.
Gov. Kathy Hochul has declared a state of emergency due to the storm expected to stretch 2,000 miles across the U.S.
