I still don't understand the bread/milk obsession when an ice storm hits. I never buy those things ordinarily, why would I stock up on them when an ice storm is coming?

I'm serious.

Can someone please explain it?

Buy meats, dairy and frozen last. Group them on the conveyor so that (hopefully) they will get bagged together. (The order in which some cashiers and baggers scan and bag items baffles me.) Place in car, crank up the A/C. Drive straight home. I don't bother with coolers or ice. The closest grocery store is 15-20 minutes away from me. I sometimes go to stores that are farther away...anywhere from 25-40 minutes. Never had an issue.

re the milk/bread/eggs thing==
comfort food all the way--plus you can eat it for breakfast or dinner--and it's cheap...
and you don't have to make French toast with that--you can make bread pudding...

My ice storm stock-up list consists of corn tortillas, canned tuna (TUNA TACOS Y'ALL), canned soup (can be eaten at room temp if power goes out), English muffins, instant coffee (can be prepared cold if power goes out), toilet paper, and cat food.

I've done that, too, with homemade bread and Tillamook extra sharp cheddar.

And in the summer when I buy my baby loaves of Tillamook from Costco, we just drive straight home afterwards so it won't grill in the back of the car.
