re: People are freezing to death in their cars in Buffalo

There are still limits on man made things when compared to mother nature. If someone wasn't prepared and everything around them failed, it's easy to see how people can die.

but in Buffalo?

There was a "No personal cars on the roads" notice put out. And ignored.

It's tragic for their survivors. But it's also tragic for the ones who died shoveling snow and operativn their snow blowers. Again, who benifits that one driveway is shoveled? The daily weather forecaston Accuweather shows Buffalo temperatures for the next three days not going below 32F
Thats three days of melting. So, do you shovel now or wait 23 hours for Nature to do it for you?

I get (30) people dying in a freak Southern snow storm, but in Buffalo?

Only 9.6% of the deaths were in cars. 3/31. The majority of deaths were probably homeless people. 17/31 were outside.

It also doesn’t say if they were found dead from being stuck in cars or dead from traffic accidents due to blizzard conditions. The thread title could use some work but that’s a run of the mill stout thread these days.
