People are dumb and will happily get themselves killed trying to drive in this stuff. Lake effect can dump feet of snow in a few hours. Last year, even with a SoE in effect, a local girl died of hypothermia in her stranded car.

i mean winter storms (all storms really) have steadily gotten more severe what with us destroying the climate and marginally improving some basic public safety standards also seems good




also if you wanna get real deep in the weather stuff all of our forecast models are based off of historical observations dating back to the late 1800s. As climate change shifts weather patterns the degree of certainty goes down dramatically bc the historical patterns no longer hold up. As a result storms have gotten more severe and forecasters are less certain a storm will only be "moderate" and not "gently caress you, this poo poo's once in a century* type event" so there's a lot more hedging going on.

State of Emergency is used to immediately free up state funds for things like rescuing people, evacuation, providing shelter and provide essential commodities (i.e., heating fuel, food, etc.). Other than boomers complaining about "back in my day" who would complain about that being used?

Anyone talking about that kind of weather being a home field advantage against a warm weather team is out of their minds. This is like Everest Death Zone conditions it doesn’t matter where the gently caress you’re from you’re gonna hate your life.

Because they're spoiled little fucks who have either lost, or never had, any real perspective on what it feels like to have a mediocre or lovely team. Every single slight against their team is a massive affront to their ego and sends them into a frenzied rage not unlike a meth head fiending for the next hit.

My predictions for the funniest outcomes

Steelers > Bills would probably be the funniest result, also the least likely
Dolphins > Chiefs because it's never not funny when Kermit loses
Stroud > Flacco because Flacco has always been mid at best except for a brief 4 game stint yet people won't shut up about him right now
Green Bay > Dallas hahahahaha gently caress the cowboys
Lions > Rams SOSAR
Tampa > Philly because the Eagles finishing their crash and burn is a great way to end WC weekend
