There’s a chance of ice and snow in the forecast right now, and for metro Atlantans, that can only mean one thing: Go to Kroger. Buy all of the milk and bread. And eggs. And bananas. And then go home and wait out the madness that may or may not actually happen. This afternoon, the word “Kroger” was even a trending topic on Twitter in ATL. We’ve rounded up some of the best photos and responses from last night and today—hope your supplies are stocked!
And so it begins… #StormWatchOn2 https://t.co/Croxlcbh6g pic.twitter.com/HP6M56xifu

Went to @AldiUSA in #Atlanta. They had tons of milk & bread left. Out of chicken & lettuce. When did #snowpocalypse eaters get so healthy?
