SO BELOW FREEZING.

>> LIVE IN THE WRAL STORM

TRACKER.

THANKS.

>>> THE TWO THINGS MOST

EVERYONE THINKERS ABILITY.

GROCERIES AND SCHOOLS.

SOME PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE

MAKING THAT FINAL TOWN THE

GROCERY STORE.

JOINING US WITH SOME LAST-

MINUTE SHOPPERS.

AMANDA?

>>> THE MANAGER HERE TOLD ME

THIS PLACE WAS PACKED TODAY.

THIS FOOD LION ON STRUCKLAND

ROAD.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE STILL

A FEW SHOPPERS GETTING LAST-

MINUTE ITEMS.

SO FAR, THE SUPPLIES HAVE BEEN

HOLDING UP PRETTY WELL.

BRAID AND MILK AND MOST OF THE

SHOPPERS ARE TAKING THE STORM

IN STRIDE BECAUSE THEY CITY SAY

IT IS THE FIRST AND COULD BE

THE LAST OF THE SEASON.

>> YOU ARE DOING SOME SNOW

SHOPPING OR REGULAR OR BOTH.

>> THE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE

HOME TOMORROW.

I AM GOING TO GET SOME STUFF

FOR HIM TO BE HOME.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMING DOWN

A LOT OUT THERE NOW.

I AM JUST TRYING TO HURRY UP SO

I CAN GET HOME.

>> AND THE SHOPPERS ARE

DEFINITELY ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT GETTING

HOME BECAUSE THE SNOW IS COMING

DOWN AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP.

WE JUST STEPPED OUTSIDE TO SHOW

YOU.

IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

OF COURSE, IT IS GATHERING A

LITTLE BIT ON THE TREES.

NOT SO BEAUTIFUL IF IT IS

GATHERING ON YOUR CAR, OF

COURSE, AND YOU ARE TRYING TO

GET HOME.

WE HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF THE

EMPLOYEES LEAVE.

THEY TELL US THEY ARE PLANNING

TO STAY OPEN UNTIL 11:00

TONIGHT.

I AM SURE THAT WILL DEPEND ON

WEATHER CONDITIONS AND IF THEY

CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE.

THEY MAY CHANGE THEIR MINDS BUT

THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE TELLING
