This might be way too niche, but if even one person whose life it could save sees it, that'll be worth it. If you are someone who used to live in the north/anywhere it snows a lot, and now you live somewhere in the southern US where the giant snow and ice storm is coming through this weekend it DOES NOT MATTER if you "know how to drive in the snow."
In most of the south, it is far more cost effective to shut everything down for the small periods of ice and snow that we get rather than to have infrastructure to handle snow. The roads don't get salted. Also, typically we start with freezing rain before snow, so between that and no salt, it is pure ice under the snow. Our snow is also usually wet, not the dry powdery stuff that is relatively easy to drive on.
After living in denver for a couple years and moving back to arkansas, I had a little huberus about being able to drive in snow, but was quickly humbled with by far my scariest driving experience in some freezing rain here in arkansas, way worse than the various heavy snow storms that I had to drive home in when I lived in Denver. Get enough food for a week, have a little bit of stuff prepped for a power outage, and be prepared to stay home.
Southerners are not just crazy people who are overreacting, it is just different here. But I do make fun of the impulse to buy milk, eggs, and bread. Just buy a usual weeks worth of groceries plus maybe a few extra things you can eat during a power outage. Unless you want some cozy snow day french toast. Then you'll need milk, eggs, and bread, but it's probably too late to find any on the shelves.
