I feel bad for russias people. Every indication I’ve seen is that they’re not for the war at all. They’re the ones taking the brunt of it(in Russia). After all this is over russias going to have to pay reparations and they’ll be screwed over even more, the anti Russia sentiment is def going to gestate some sort of nationalist movement and just create a repeating cycle of hate. Look Putin and the government are at fault and most of the fucks you give SHOULD go to Ukraine. But remember the Russian people are being screwed too.

Emergency services were turned off for 2 days during the storm. The city was completely inaccessible so if you get into an accident you're on your own. My street (a main street in the heart of the west side) had a snow drift as high a stoplight blocking all access. Down the way was an abandoned semitruck blocking the entire road as well as other abandoned cars sprinkled across the landscape completely buried in snow. Trees fallen everywhere too. The whole city was like this.
I knew it was going to be bad but this one was BAD

You’ve been hit hard twice and it’s only December. Do you think about moving? Just curious. I live in Maine but come from Rochester NY and I don’t think I could deal with that level of disaster anymore.

Grew up in Rochester as well, moved to Southern Louisiana to get away from the snow. In the 90's I got cuaght several times on the stretch of 90 between Buffalo and Erie and wasn't sure I'd make it home. The snow through there is crazy, I would just follow a semi at a distance and if he went off the road I knew to stop.

If they've got a full load they do better than cars and have more experienced drivers so I follow them too. But with an empty trailer they're screwed in high winds. I was thinking of passing one in Chicago snowstorm but the back drifted just a bit so I slowed down and kept back. Sure enough a few minutes later a gust caught him and the trailer swung across a couple lanes and almost jackknifed. Driver did a great job of getting it straightened back out so kudos to him! That was a long ass stressful drive back home though. I was exhausted.

This is why people would rush to the store to buy up things like eggs, bread, milk, butter, TP, paper towels, etc... Sure people always panic when it's just a little snow but overall, these types of storms are why.

Also why it's good to have some canned/dried goods. I keep about 4-5 days worth of soups, canned goods, rice, ramen, clean it out every once in a while if it doesn't get used. It's not costly either, that stuff is fairly cheap.
But man, this is pretty crazy. I think the most I've ever been trapped (no driving ban, just felt safe to leave) was 3 days in 2010 for "Snowmaggedon", these poor folks are almost going on a week.

4-5 days worth of food is nothing. I live in Louisiana and that’s the bare minimum in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure we have a month's worth of food all combined. Lots of dried beans and rice too. For me, it's to be prepared, and because of the poverty I've experienced, where all my food was from the food bank.

That's very smart. Dried beans and rice are heaven when you have ZERO access. People don't understand that. it's not about what you want to eat in a disaster, its about eating high caloric/protein meals and staying adequately 'full', or, at the very least, having enough food to have some energy output.

Another thing is maintaining a more positive mental state. When you don't meet the daily nutritive threshold it can mess with your head. Bad thought loops are the last thing you need in a natural disaster.

This is 100 why I keep 'mental health food' in my pantry. A chocolate bar. Liquid IVs. Canned fruit. Stuff I know will boost me when I'm low. It helped so much during Ida.

True, but conservatives have turned the "small business owner" into an identity that they leverage against anybody who might need any sort of govt protections; the narrative is always that JimBob's Tire Emporium will go under if he has to pay over $8/hour or offer insurance. They all see themselves as JimBob. It's a really good trick.
Dems are for sure corrupt and support a lot of corporate agenda items but they campaign on individual wage and debt issues and do actually pass legislation. They're less psychopathic.

Hi fellow Northwoods resident!
The blow snow is the worst part. Stupid snow drifts.
Although. My subdivision went from an open field to a street full of houses this summer. So the drifting is down considerably.

It was awesome!
Day after tomorrow quotes for a week!
We never lost power so it was a win. What's funny is that it was around 25 this morning. Still wearing short sleeve shirts after the last frost. It was crazy! Hope y'all are safe.

What?!? He’s a democrat?
That’s all I needed to hear to know that this definitely was NOT the worst storm in the city’s history, typical democrat fear mongering.
Theres no more bodies to find, but I’m sure the democrats will claim they found more bodies just to justify more government spending. They’ll be counting people that died 3 weeks ago as storm deaths. They count bodies the same way they count votes for Biden. LGB!!

"31 deaths is crazy… stay safe out there!",
">\n\nI'm in Ohio and had to be the bad guy to my in-laws by saying we weren't coming to Christmas Eve, then they called the next day and said it took them an hour to drive 10 minutes home from the dinner we skipped and how dangerous it was. \nSome people gotta touch an oven to see if it's hot when you tell them ¯\\ಠಠ_/¯",
">\n\nAlso in Ohio. Called out of work the day of the storm even though it was only a 15 min drive away. Roads were still not cleared fully 2 days later.",
">\n\nI called out on Friday, I do not like my job enough to risk my life for it, especially during the holiday rush.",
">\n\nDon't get me wrong. My job is great and it pays well. But money is money and it'll cost a lot more for my loved ones to arrange my funeral than it would for me to miss a day of work.",
">\n\nI’m in BC where we got hit pretty bad last week, and my ethos was, “I get paid less in a day than my car insurance deductible costs”",
">\n\nHaha I’m gonna remember this",
">\n\nEmergency services were turned off for 2 days during the storm. The city was completely inaccessible so if you get into an accident you're on your own. My street (a main street in the heart of the west side) had a snow drift as high a stoplight blocking all access. Down the way was an abandoned semitruck blocking the entire road as well as other abandoned cars sprinkled across the landscape completely buried in snow. Trees fallen everywhere too. The whole city was like this.\nI knew it was going to be bad but this one was BAD",
">\n\nYou’ve been hit hard twice and it’s only December. Do you think about moving? Just curious. I live in Maine but come from Rochester NY and I don’t think I could deal with that level of disaster anymore.",
">\n\nGrew up in Rochester as well, moved to Southern Louisiana to get away from the snow. In the 90's I got cuaght several times on the stretch of 90 between Buffalo and Erie and wasn't sure I'd make it home. The snow through there is crazy, I would just follow a semi at a distance and if he went off the road I knew to stop.",
">\n\ndriving around with Semi-traction can be a bit dangerous sometimes.",
">\n\nIf they've got a full load they do better than cars and have more experienced drivers so I follow them too. But with an empty trailer they're screwed in high winds. I was thinking of passing one in Chicago snowstorm but the back drifted just a bit so I slowed down and kept back. Sure enough a few minutes later a gust caught him and the trailer swung across a couple lanes and almost jackknifed. Driver did a great job of getting it straightened back out so kudos to him! That was a long ass stressful drive back home though. I was exhausted.",
">\n\nThis is why people would rush to the store to buy up things like eggs, bread, milk, butter, TP, paper towels, etc... Sure people always panic when it's just a little snow but overall, these types of storms are why.",
">\n\nAlso why it's good to have some canned/dried goods. I keep about 4-5 days worth of soups, canned goods, rice, ramen, clean it out every once in a while if it doesn't get used. It's not costly either, that stuff is fairly cheap. \nBut man, this is pretty crazy. I think the most I've ever been trapped (no driving ban, just felt safe to leave) was 3 days in 2010 for \"Snowmaggedon\", these poor folks are almost going on a week.",
">\n\nYou keep 4-5 days worth?... I feel like I may be a hoarder if 4-5 days is considered a good amount.",
">\n\n4-5 days worth of food is nothing. I live in Louisiana and that’s the bare minimum in my opinion.",
">\n\nI'm pretty sure we have a month's worth of food all combined. Lots of dried beans and rice too. For me, it's to be prepared, and because of the poverty I've experienced, where all my food was from the food bank.",
">\n\nThat's very smart. Dried beans and rice are heaven when you have ZERO access. People don't understand that. it's not about what you want to eat in a disaster, its about eating high caloric/protein meals and staying adequately 'full', or, at the very least, having enough food to have some energy output.",
">\n\nAnother thing is maintaining a more positive mental state. When you don't meet the daily nutritive threshold it can mess with your head. Bad thought loops are the last thing you need in a natural disaster.",
">\n\nThis is 100 why I keep 'mental health food' in my pantry. A chocolate bar. Liquid IVs. Canned fruit. Stuff I know will boost me when I'm low. It helped so much during Ida.",

Right?
I mean, it's one thing to be open on a holiday in a busy travel area, especially if you have staff who celebrate other holidays -- but floods, shootings, blizzards, holidays (where it's not necessary or at not busy stores). Pretty sure there is something in the "How to Be Corporate" manual that demands stores be open in the most ridiculous situations without exception; in fact, that more ridiculous the more critical it is for the store to be fully staffed :/

For the people looking in from outside the area, the people of WNY take pride in being able to survive storms with minimal disruption. And remember that we just got thru a monumental storm just before thanksgiving. But unless you are at least 55 yrs old you can’t really remember conditions like those of last week. It was on a whole different level and all the local weatherman warnings about it’s impending severity couldn’t convince a large number of the population. The fact that they hype up a normal lake effect snow storm every 10 days may have played a small part in people disregarding the warnings but that’s a whole other conversation.

The people at those jobs don't have the means to sue. And if they do the company will stretch it out requiring court appearances but the employee doesn't have that many sick and vacation days so they either show up and lose their job or give up. People can't go that long without work to fight back against the evil bastards. The only chance is a large class action or if the business gets enough bad publicity that they settle.

So did folks stock up on supplies before this thing hit? If you can't drive you can't get to the grocery store or pharmacy.

This is why they say you should have 2 weeks worth of non-perishable food at home at all times. Even if it's just soup or pasta. Because there will come a time when you're stuck for several days and everything is shut down. I know it sucks because so many are living paycheck to paycheck, but it's important to have that little stash of food (and medicine).

"31 deaths is crazy… stay safe out there!",
">\n\nI'm in Ohio and had to be the bad guy to my in-laws by saying we weren't coming to Christmas Eve, then they called the next day and said it took them an hour to drive 10 minutes home from the dinner we skipped and how dangerous it was. \nSome people gotta touch an oven to see if it's hot when you tell them ¯\\ಠಠ_/¯",
">\n\nAlso in Ohio. Called out of work the day of the storm even though it was only a 15 min drive away. Roads were still not cleared fully 2 days later.",
">\n\nI called out on Friday, I do not like my job enough to risk my life for it, especially during the holiday rush.",
">\n\nDon't get me wrong. My job is great and it pays well. But money is money and it'll cost a lot more for my loved ones to arrange my funeral than it would for me to miss a day of work.",
">\n\nI’m in BC where we got hit pretty bad last week, and my ethos was, “I get paid less in a day than my car insurance deductible costs”",
">\n\nHaha I’m gonna remember this",
">\n\nEmergency services were turned off for 2 days during the storm. The city was completely inaccessible so if you get into an accident you're on your own. My street (a main street in the heart of the west side) had a snow drift as high a stoplight blocking all access. Down the way was an abandoned semitruck blocking the entire road as well as other abandoned cars sprinkled across the landscape completely buried in snow. Trees fallen everywhere too. The whole city was like this.\nI knew it was going to be bad but this one was BAD",
">\n\nYou’ve been hit hard twice and it’s only December. Do you think about moving? Just curious. I live in Maine but come from Rochester NY and I don’t think I could deal with that level of disaster anymore.",
">\n\nGrew up in Rochester as well, moved to Southern Louisiana to get away from the snow. In the 90's I got cuaght several times on the stretch of 90 between Buffalo and Erie and wasn't sure I'd make it home. The snow through there is crazy, I would just follow a semi at a distance and if he went off the road I knew to stop.",
">\n\ndriving around with Semi-traction can be a bit dangerous sometimes.",
">\n\nIf they've got a full load they do better than cars and have more experienced drivers so I follow them too. But with an empty trailer they're screwed in high winds. I was thinking of passing one in Chicago snowstorm but the back drifted just a bit so I slowed down and kept back. Sure enough a few minutes later a gust caught him and the trailer swung across a couple lanes and almost jackknifed. Driver did a great job of getting it straightened back out so kudos to him! That was a long ass stressful drive back home though. I was exhausted.",
">\n\nThis is why people would rush to the store to buy up things like eggs, bread, milk, butter, TP, paper towels, etc... Sure people always panic when it's just a little snow but overall, these types of storms are why.",
">\n\nAlso why it's good to have some canned/dried goods. I keep about 4-5 days worth of soups, canned goods, rice, ramen, clean it out every once in a while if it doesn't get used. It's not costly either, that stuff is fairly cheap. \nBut man, this is pretty crazy. I think the most I've ever been trapped (no driving ban, just felt safe to leave) was 3 days in 2010 for \"Snowmaggedon\", these poor folks are almost going on a week.",
">\n\nYou keep 4-5 days worth?... I feel like I may be a hoarder if 4-5 days is considered a good amount.",
">\n\n4-5 days worth of food is nothing. I live in Louisiana and that’s the bare minimum in my opinion.",
">\n\nI'm pretty sure we have a month's worth of food all combined. Lots of dried beans and rice too. For me, it's to be prepared, and because of the poverty I've experienced, where all my food was from the food bank.",
">\n\nThat's very smart. Dried beans and rice are heaven when you have ZERO access. People don't understand that. it's not about what you want to eat in a disaster, its about eating high caloric/protein meals and staying adequately 'full', or, at the very least, having enough food to have some energy output.",
">\n\nAnother thing is maintaining a more positive mental state. When you don't meet the daily nutritive threshold it can mess with your head. Bad thought loops are the last thing you need in a natural disaster.",
">\n\nThis is 100 why I keep 'mental health food' in my pantry. A chocolate bar. Liquid IVs. Canned fruit. Stuff I know will boost me when I'm low. It helped so much during Ida.",
">\n\nEvery business that stayed open and didn't give their employees the option to stay home should be prosecuted. These people would t have been out in this if it wasn't for fear of losing their jobs. It's disgusting.",
">\n\nToo bad our elected officials don't represent their constituents' interests. Or rather they consider the businesses their constuents, rather than the voters.",
">\n\n\nOr rather they consider the businesses their constituents, rather than the voters.\n\nConservatives make no secret at all about this, and their voters are very straightforward about valuing business owners over regular people.",
">\n\nIt's not just conservatives, sadly. Both parties represent corporations over human beings.",
">\n\nTrue, but conservatives have turned the \"small business owner\" into an identity that they leverage against anybody who might need any sort of govt protections; the narrative is always that JimBob's Tire Emporium will go under if he has to pay over $8/hour or offer insurance. They all see themselves as JimBob. It's a really good trick.\nDems are for sure corrupt and support a lot of corporate agenda items but they campaign on individual wage and debt issues and do actually pass legislation. They're less psychopathic.",
">\n\nAnd yet conservative's talk about small business that way, but vote every damn time to make sure that larger companies get advantages - and those small businesses fail.",
">\n\nSo do Dems. Follow the money, both parties are propped up by the foulest industries and that isn't even considering dark money and super PACS.",
">\n\nI do, but I also look at the voting records. We need to get more people to run under \"Working Families\"that arent just \"better than the worse\" of the democrats.",
">\n\nLowes doesn't care. Still forcing employees to come in",

My mum couldn’t understand why there have been so many deaths and as someone who’s only been following the situation from a distance I couldn’t really give her a confident answer. Are people dying from being caught in the blizzard outside? Are they trapped inside with no heating or supplies and succumbing to the cold? Is it primarily elderly people? Was this storm foreseen and were people warned to be prepared?

"31 deaths is crazy… stay safe out there!",
">\n\nI'm in Ohio and had to be the bad guy to my in-laws by saying we weren't coming to Christmas Eve, then they called the next day and said it took them an hour to drive 10 minutes home from the dinner we skipped and how dangerous it was. \nSome people gotta touch an oven to see if it's hot when you tell them ¯\\ಠಠ_/¯",
">\n\nAlso in Ohio. Called out of work the day of the storm even though it was only a 15 min drive away. Roads were still not cleared fully 2 days later.",
">\n\nI called out on Friday, I do not like my job enough to risk my life for it, especially during the holiday rush.",
">\n\nDon't get me wrong. My job is great and it pays well. But money is money and it'll cost a lot more for my loved ones to arrange my funeral than it would for me to miss a day of work.",
">\n\nI’m in BC where we got hit pretty bad last week, and my ethos was, “I get paid less in a day than my car insurance deductible costs”",
">\n\nHaha I’m gonna remember this",
">\n\nEmergency services were turned off for 2 days during the storm. The city was completely inaccessible so if you get into an accident you're on your own. My street (a main street in the heart of the west side) had a snow drift as high a stoplight blocking all access. Down the way was an abandoned semitruck blocking the entire road as well as other abandoned cars sprinkled across the landscape completely buried in snow. Trees fallen everywhere too. The whole city was like this.\nI knew it was going to be bad but this one was BAD",
">\n\nYou’ve been hit hard twice and it’s only December. Do you think about moving? Just curious. I live in Maine but come from Rochester NY and I don’t think I could deal with that level of disaster anymore.",
">\n\nGrew up in Rochester as well, moved to Southern Louisiana to get away from the snow. In the 90's I got cuaght several times on the stretch of 90 between Buffalo and Erie and wasn't sure I'd make it home. The snow through there is crazy, I would just follow a semi at a distance and if he went off the road I knew to stop.",
">\n\ndriving around with Semi-traction can be a bit dangerous sometimes.",
">\n\nIf they've got a full load they do better than cars and have more experienced drivers so I follow them too. But with an empty trailer they're screwed in high winds. I was thinking of passing one in Chicago snowstorm but the back drifted just a bit so I slowed down and kept back. Sure enough a few minutes later a gust caught him and the trailer swung across a couple lanes and almost jackknifed. Driver did a great job of getting it straightened back out so kudos to him! That was a long ass stressful drive back home though. I was exhausted.",
">\n\nThis is why people would rush to the store to buy up things like eggs, bread, milk, butter, TP, paper towels, etc... Sure people always panic when it's just a little snow but overall, these types of storms are why.",
">\n\nAlso why it's good to have some canned/dried goods. I keep about 4-5 days worth of soups, canned goods, rice, ramen, clean it out every once in a while if it doesn't get used. It's not costly either, that stuff is fairly cheap. \nBut man, this is pretty crazy. I think the most I've ever been trapped (no driving ban, just felt safe to leave) was 3 days in 2010 for \"Snowmaggedon\", these poor folks are almost going on a week.",
">\n\nYou keep 4-5 days worth?... I feel like I may be a hoarder if 4-5 days is considered a good amount.",
">\n\n4-5 days worth of food is nothing. I live in Louisiana and that’s the bare minimum in my opinion.",
">\n\nI'm pretty sure we have a month's worth of food all combined. Lots of dried beans and rice too. For me, it's to be prepared, and because of the poverty I've experienced, where all my food was from the food bank.",
">\n\nThat's very smart. Dried beans and rice are heaven when you have ZERO access. People don't understand that. it's not about what you want to eat in a disaster, its about eating high caloric/protein meals and staying adequately 'full', or, at the very least, having enough food to have some energy output.",
">\n\nAnother thing is maintaining a more positive mental state. When you don't meet the daily nutritive threshold it can mess with your head. Bad thought loops are the last thing you need in a natural disaster.",
">\n\nThis is 100 why I keep 'mental health food' in my pantry. A chocolate bar. Liquid IVs. Canned fruit. Stuff I know will boost me when I'm low. It helped so much during Ida.",
">\n\nEvery business that stayed open and didn't give their employees the option to stay home should be prosecuted. These people would t have been out in this if it wasn't for fear of losing their jobs. It's disgusting.",
">\n\nToo bad our elected officials don't represent their constituents' interests. Or rather they consider the businesses their constuents, rather than the voters.",
">\n\n\nOr rather they consider the businesses their constituents, rather than the voters.\n\nConservatives make no secret at all about this, and their voters are very straightforward about valuing business owners over regular people.",
">\n\nIt's not just conservatives, sadly. Both parties represent corporations over human beings.",
">\n\nTrue, but conservatives have turned the \"small business owner\" into an identity that they leverage against anybody who might need any sort of govt protections; the narrative is always that JimBob's Tire Emporium will go under if he has to pay over $8/hour or offer insurance. They all see themselves as JimBob. It's a really good trick.\nDems are for sure corrupt and support a lot of corporate agenda items but they campaign on individual wage and debt issues and do actually pass legislation. They're less psychopathic.",
">\n\nAnd yet conservative's talk about small business that way, but vote every damn time to make sure that larger companies get advantages - and those small businesses fail.",
">\n\nSo do Dems. Follow the money, both parties are propped up by the foulest industries and that isn't even considering dark money and super PACS.",
">\n\nI do, but I also look at the voting records. We need to get more people to run under \"Working Families\"that arent just \"better than the worse\" of the democrats.",
">\n\nLowes doesn't care. Still forcing employees to come in",
">\n\nI recently learned from a former Lowe’s employee that they have some sort of agreement with the government to be considered essential so that people and emergency services can get generators and equipment from them",
">\n\njesus, that's a lot of fucking snow \nlooking at that i'm having a mild ptsd from the four straight days of shoveling/blowing last week here in northern WI",
">\n\nHi fellow Northwoods resident!\nThe blow snow is the worst part. Stupid snow drifts. \nAlthough. My subdivision went from an open field to a street full of houses this summer. So the drifting is down considerably.",
">\n\nWyoming enters the chat Someone talking about snowdrifts? The jackalopes have it tough this year.",
">\n\nJesus I saw that Cheyenne dropped 32 degrees in temp in 10 minutes. That is seriously insane weather.",
">\n\nIt was awesome! \nDay after tomorrow quotes for a week! \nWe never lost power so it was a win. What's funny is that it was around 25 this morning. Still wearing short sleeve shirts after the last frost. It was crazy! Hope y'all are safe.",
">\n\nOne wonders if there is a list of missing people and if so, how long the list is",
">\n\nI saw a fucked up video of people coming across someone frozen on the ground.",
">\n\nThat's cold asf",
">\n\nYeah both what they were saying and acting and the fact the person froze to death.",
">\n\nI once slept outside in 5 to 10 degree weather, I hope all the homeless got somewhere warm.",
">\n\n\"Poloncarz, a Democrat, called the blizzard \"the worst storm probably in our lifetime,\" even for an area known for heavy snow. More bodies are expected to be found as the snow is cleared or melts.\" \nWtf does their political affiliation have to do with anything? \n\"Jeff here, who loves cheese, was devastated when his wife was unable to be rescued from her car\".",
">\n\nPeople need to know if they should agree or disagree with the statement about the storm.",
">\n\nWhat?!? He’s a democrat? \nThat’s all I needed to hear to know that this definitely was NOT the worst storm in the city’s history, typical democrat fear mongering.\nTheres no more bodies to find, but I’m sure the democrats will claim they found more bodies just to justify more government spending. They’ll be counting people that died 3 weeks ago as storm deaths. They count bodies the same way they count votes for Biden. LGB!!\n/s",
">\n\nRemenber: whatever out there isn't worth your life",
">\n\nWell said, just chill at your home safely till the storm reduces",
">\n\nMany houses do not have power and people are trying to get to the safety of a community shelter.",
">\n\nThis is true as well",
">\n\nI’m in buffalo we had no power for 74 hours and needed gas to run a generator to stay warm, to survive you have to make choices. There wasn’t even 911 services for the entire city for days.",
">\n\nIt's insane to me they announced no emergency services. It was like 48 hours. All the bodegas near me on the west side got robbed, pretty crazy.",
">\n\nIt is insane, and public services have to warn people and risk the looting. The government is a construct that's a failure when its needed lately. It's not going to get any better either...",
">\n\nThis is not the time to play on the roads, so stay off them",
">\n\nKind of hard to do that if you live in your car.",
">\n\nmy hometown 💔 my sister is still snowed in and had to walk to wegmans to try and get supplies. i really wish i could help",
">\n\nDoesn't help homeless people who have no choice.",
">\n\nMeanwhile, Starbucks etc. demanding to know why employees aren't clocked in",
">\n\nI happened to have my plans messed up from the weather, so I was chillin solo on Xmas. I couldn’t believe my local Starbucks was open. Give em a day, Jeaz! No one is missing Starbucks that day.",
">\n\nRight?\nI mean, it's one thing to be open on a holiday in a busy travel area, especially if you have staff who celebrate other holidays -- but floods, shootings, blizzards, holidays (where it's not necessary or at not busy stores). Pretty sure there is something in the \"How to Be Corporate\" manual that demands stores be open in the most ridiculous situations without exception; in fact, that more ridiculous the more critical it is for the store to be fully staffed :/",
">\n\nFor the people looking in from outside the area, the people of WNY take pride in being able to survive storms with minimal disruption. And remember that we just got thru a monumental storm just before thanksgiving. But unless you are at least 55 yrs old you can’t really remember conditions like those of last week. It was on a whole different level and all the local weatherman warnings about it’s impending severity couldn’t convince a large number of the population. The fact that they hype up a normal lake effect snow storm every 10 days may have played a small part in people disregarding the warnings but that’s a whole other conversation.",
">\n\nThe size of the Low and the massive pressure gradient between it and the cold high behind it was absolutely nuts.",
">\n\n\"but you're still coming in for your shift, right?\" - management",
">\n\nThese managers and store owners should be prosecuted and go to jail.",
">\n\nI'm looking forward to the several lawsuits from employees over their bosses making them show up to work.",
">\n\nThe people at those jobs don't have the means to sue. And if they do the company will stretch it out requiring court appearances but the employee doesn't have that many sick and vacation days so they either show up and lose their job or give up. People can't go that long without work to fight back against the evil bastards. The only chance is a large class action or if the business gets enough bad publicity that they settle.",
">\n\nSo did folks stock up on supplies before this thing hit? If you can't drive you can't get to the grocery store or pharmacy.",
">\n\nThis is why they say you should have 2 weeks worth of non-perishable food at home at all times. Even if it's just soup or pasta. Because there will come a time when you're stuck for several days and everything is shut down. I know it sucks because so many are living paycheck to paycheck, but it's important to have that little stash of food (and medicine).",
">\n\nExactly. Everyone should have an emergency kit.",
">\n\nYou know how bad it is after you learn Buffalo is a place that is no stranger to snow, cold snaps and blizzards."
