TOWANDA, Pa. — In Bradford County, people are expecting the worst of the storm's snow and ice.
It's been a cold rain for most of the day in Wysox. Stores were busy with people getting ready for this storm.
In Troy, hardware stores had a supply of winter shovels, salt, and sleds out for customers.
Grocery stores were also bustling with people stocking up on items preparing to be stuck at home.
Folks in the Towanda area have been paying attention to our Stormtracker 16 team, and while it was still raining, people said they wanted to get the items they needed now and get home before the temperatures dropped and it switched over to freezing rain.
"Food, warmth, I got to make sure my cat has treats. Mostly that and just that people are going to be alright and my family will make it through too and not be stupid and drive in this," Patricia Harrigan said.
The biggest concern we heard from people was about the ice that's expected.
"Ice is dangerous. You fall, you can break your hip, break a leg, and that's a long time healing, especially when you get up in the older years," Marcia Flanagan said.
"The snow can be cleared away; the ice can't, you know? You got to worry about people driving snowplows. If it's ice, they won't be able to plow if it's that bad," Harrigan said.
"The power right now, that's scaring me because they say stock up, but if power goes out, it'd be a little hard, so other than that really, I'm stocked up," Cindy Hammell said. "I am stocked up, and I'm ready."
