Fortunately, New York in general, and Buffalo in particular, have strong Gun Safety(tm) laws to ensure the safety of looters.

But no, there’s always someone who considers the warnings fear porn, or it’s just another winter storm, a big nothing burger. I guess they learned

Yep, my daughter got frostbite helping rescue a car crash victim who had to go on a beer run in -40 degree weather this week. She'll be okay, but needless to say, the station was pretty pissed at the guy.

Where are the climate hysteria freaks? Maybe they could go out and help shovel snow.

Typical, disarm people, then abandon them.

Yes t is true. I live here and it was pretty frightening to hear. We tried to snow blow our driveway when it finally ended but it’s heavy snow and ice. We gave up. Being older we couldn’t risk something happening knowing help could not get to us.
Roads are now buried parking lots. Driving ban extended for tomorrow. Daughter (nurse) went in Friday am and hasn’t been home since.
The crime is sickening. Police trying to check cars for trapped people and calls coming in left and right over looting and possibly some arson too.

I’d swear that Cheektowaga Depew Lackawanna was arrested for soliciting in Miami, just last week!

I wonder if any of the trapped people were in electric vehicles?

I read a article saying some substations were buried by 8+ ft high drifts, but also so covered by ice they can’t even make repairs until they get the snow and ice clear.

“Well if they had electric cars they wouldn’t have had to worry about it.” Biden’s flunkies.

A friend had her friends 73 year old mom get stuck right after this mess hit. Things were okay..rainy but okay, and then it hit like a switch was flipped.
They found her deceased tonight. It was a total white out here for over 30 hours. If you got caught in it you had to stay in your vehicle and hope to be found because you couldn’t see where to go. It just went on too long for some.

While on other sites, Greg Abbott is being castigated for the few outages we've had over the past two days.

Lemme guess, no criticism of Buffalo mayor, he/she is a Democrat.
