"It's cold. I'm fine with tomorrow But I feel sorry, other people, you can see they are freezing."
Many shoppers say they hope this weather passes quickly.
WSLS 10 gathered a checklist of things to help you get through the winter storm. Remember:
- If you take prescription medications make sure you have at least a 7-day supply.
- Drivers be sure to keep your gas tank at least half-full, that helps prevent your fuel from freezing
- Parents of small children - don't forget about baby supplies, and pet owners - make sure you have plenty of pet supplies as well. Do not leave your animal outside
