Officials are advising residents to get what is needed now in an effort to avoid have anyone go out on the roads unnecessarily when the storm hits.

Some shoppers told CBS4 they went to Tony's Market in Littleton after not being able to find what they needed at the bigger stores.

"I'm not used to this panic shopping and entirely empty shelves," Joanie Veage told CBS4.

Veage said she has seen fewer and fewer amounts of certain food as the week has wore on.

"I mean, who is buying all of the onions?" she said.

Other shoppers said they've been stocked up for a big snowstorm all winter long, so there weren't a lot of major items that they needed.
