GHENT --  Many spent the night stranded on the Interstate without food.

Drivers said they never imagined this much snow or that they'd end up struggling to feed their families. Parents of children said they walked miles along Interstate 77 looking for anyone with food to keep them going. In Ghent, two convenience stores remain open, the Marathon gas station and Lakefront Grocery. Motorists stuck in the area say they're the employees were able to get to work today.

"We ate just a little bit what we had left in our cars last night at the hotel, which wasn't a lot. We called around to all the different restaurants and they're all closed, even the pizza take out places and the subways. So we've all been coming up to this store which is the only place left," said Loren Miller of Flint, Mich.

Other grocery stores like Kroger and Walmart in Beckley are closed due to the weather.
