the phenomenon where grocery stores & supermarkets receive higher business than usual due to snow being forecasted on the weather app. It can be any chance for any amount of snow, even if it's a 1% chance for 0.01 inch. the groceries most impacted are Bread and Milk and the customers are mostly the elderly.
