MullahMarshal has been RAGING that I am freezing in Berlin (not true).

I’m glad you’re not freezing, but this isn’t about you. There are some people in a world of hurt right now.

It’s like karma.

Are you wishing difficulty on him? That’s downright ghoulish.

My dad ran the snowmobile rescue for all of Erie County during the blizzard of’77. Lots of people rescued from cars. All you could see was the antenna. Took one pregnant lady on our snowmobile to the hospital to have her baby.

Buffalo has been a corrupt, democrat run, S#i+show ( sorry about the language, nothing else fit) for as long as I can remember, which is decades.

Shame on you. These are individual people. You don’t know how each of these people voted.

It’s sad to see how soulless some of you on here come across.

Those folks obviously understand the "true meaning" of Christmas....

Or maybe not.

For something like this storm, the fact that they are human beings should be more important than how they voted.

I agree 100%.

Some things are bigger than politics.

The warnings from authorities should be that if one ventures out in such weather, have your own agreed upon back up person for rescue. Otherwise, one should be on their own.

Exactly. Kerosene or propane heater and some fuel.

No I was pinging MullahMarshal to his weather interest since he has been gleefully RANTING to me for many months that I and my family are freezing to death this winter.

Funny, you never spared a thought against that.

Big Buddy propane heater has saved my bacon twice in the last two years. I live in Texas. I can’t imagine living in the northern US without a contingency plan.

When (not if) it gets that bad a lot of looters/gang bangers/criminals/politicians are going to get shot dead.

After all; there won’t be any cops to investigate or arrest, will there!
