The first thing that amazed me was every time there was some sort of warning (slippy rds, tornado warning, & OH NO-possible snow flurry) everybody ran to the store for bread & TP! We've moved 3 times since SC and it seems people do that in all the southern States, but not the Northeast, at least nowhere we lived. In NY really surprises me.
