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.

TBI: Women more likely family violence victims
June 20, 2013 08:10 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A new study of domestic violence in Tennessee last year found women were nearly two times more likely to be victimized than men and children were the victims in 16 percent of all family violence cases.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation put out a report this week analyzing crime statistics from law enforcement agencies across the state. Their findings show that nearly 15 percent of all crimes reported were domestic in nature.
The study looked at the relationships between victims and offenders as well as the influence of drugs and alcohol on family violence. The study found that more than 17 percent of family violence involves drugs or alcohol, with alcohol being the most common.
