With winter weather in the forecast, some of you spent the day stocking up on supplies. We went to the Kroger on McGavock Pike where families have been stocking up on the essentials most of the day. Employees tell us they've seen the usual items fly off the shelves. Families have been picking up bread, milk, cereal and canned goods, but also batteries, flashlights and firewood. No matter what they came to buy, many shoppers say the weather has really put a dent in their plans.
"It's busy," says Kroger shopper Lane Cronan. "There's a lot of people here."
"We actually got out of work a couple hours early because we were told it's going to be a really bad ice storm tonight, so I'm going to try to head home right now and get in before it starts getting bad," says Kroger shopper Erin Hughes.
"I came out of my back porch and took a slip and slide style fall down the stairs," says Kroger shopper Justin. "Luckily, it was just slick enough that I think it didn't hurt me too bad."
NES also says many elderly, sick or disabled people depend on electricity, and urge families to check on neighbors in need if there is an outage in your area. We'll have more essential winter weather coverage later on TENNESSEE MORNINGS.

June 19, 2013 16:41 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam says chief deputy Claude Ramsey is retiring at the end of August to spend more time with his family in Chattanooga.
The Republican governor said in a news release on Wednesday that the 70-year-old Ramsey has been integral to his administration on key initiatives that include civil service reform, economic development efforts, workforce development training and improved operation of state government.
Ramsey was elected to the General Assembly in 1972 where he served four years in the House. He was Hamilton County's mayor for 16 years.
His last day on the job is August 31.
