He ran as a write in after all the business interests in the city lost their poo poo and spent tons of money to get the white people in North Buffalo to vote for Brown as "the friendly black man you know" over "that angry black woman over there" (I'm paraphrasing a little).

Big fuckin surprise the developers' and busiensses' hand-picked mayor is now blaming poor residents for not having a snowblower, generator, a week of supplies, snow tires, awd, and ski wear that can keep them safe when its -30 with the windchill.

We've already talked about how people underestimate their personal risk and how they often don't adequately internalize the environmental threat.

That's typical round 3 looting.

Round one is the TVs and Xboxes.

Round two is the "I could use a new microwave."

Round three is "I need diapers"

Content time. Made it back to blizzard land minor (did not violate any driving bans). And roads etc were fine for the most part. But I can imagine how lovely the city is. A lot of 4 lane roads were 2. I spent over an hour shoveling down the 4.5 ft snow burm at the front of my driveway.

The 30+ hours of hurricane force winds really did a number on stuff. Like we got 20 inches of snow or 'a mild storm'. The major impact was it was in the single digits with blowing snow and zero foot visibility. Buffo got about 48inches.


Snow and wind is a land of contrasts,. I have a snow drift up to my second story. I also have bare lawn.

These were people that ditched and froze to death, from how it’s reported here.

Couldn't they significantly reduce the lake effect simply by building a man made island in the center of the lake?

I think it would be more effective to string up a really tall tarp on the shoreline to catch all of the snow.

If we stretched a large tarp over the entire lake, then there'd be no LES.

yeah this blizzard is a hell of a perfect storm (lol), but like

Buffalo's location was chosen for being at the end of Lake Erie, and there has not been a point since when Lake Erie was formed where being on its northeastern shore was a good idea

it might actually be the worst city in the world for severe weather events, just because everything is more or less normal even 25 miles south / southeast of it

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Didn't they dissolve the government rather than let the socialist win or is that everywhere else in america
