California Woman Makes Desperate Plea After Being Snowed In

[@green2666]

As a Canadian who sees this weather often, the amount of mismanagement by local government is insane. A snow fall like that has warning signs that should have clicked in an action plan. Citizens shouldn't suffer because people who were supposed to prepare, didn't.

[@emsauce75]

People need to take responsibility for themselves.

[@MsRotorwings]

The citizens were warned and should’ve prepared ahead of time. Running out of food and medication? Why didn’t you prepare!

[@MsRotorwings]

A town like this doesn’t budget for snow removal because they don’t regularly get snow. Residents should’ve tapped into their Earthquake Preparedness kit and supplies to get through the storm.

[@palmsandsand]

Easy to say when you may be used to receiving this kind of weather. I’m from NY and we had snow regularly. I remember a storm like this happening in the 90s and it disabled a city prepared to deal with this for nearly a week. I imagine they don’t know how to deal with it because this is an extremely rare occurrence to which I’m sure they don’t have the proper equipment for. They’d probably need to borrow equipment from places up north to even start and they still have to find a way to get it in. I pray something happens for them soon, but I’m definitely not surprised at the handling.

[@nurse_vest]

As a Southern California resident, we’re not prepared for this. This is super rare (history books rare). We’re not even prepared for our “earthquakes” because they’re usually small. We had a large one and did ok. This should be a lesson to all to be prepared! It all happened so fast though. Thankful for all those who act and help each other out!❤

[@blacksabbathmatters3365]

I live in Northern California myself. Please be prepared for these kind of winter conditions. Especially if you have children. Best of luck and stay strong. 🇺🇸

[@twanjr]

There were warnings for at least a week, this wasn't a storm that came out of no where like a tornado. I visit the mountains quite a bit and I'm always prepared that's just for me visiting! If you actually live up there and see the weather reports for close to a week why not over prepare yourself for you and your family. Still no excuse for the city to help clear the snow in general but for each individual preparation is key, you never know how bad things will get.

As someone who lives in Wisconsin and sees snowfall like this regularly I feel for these guys. My state is prepared for snow falls like that (salt, snow plows, emergency plan) but Californians aren't. Hopefully their state can get some emergency provisions in place and get things up and going again soon. I know Californians will be better prepared next time, when they tell you half a foot or more get to the store asap.

[@southbaygladiator7748]

False narrative. We get snow fall like this all the time in Northern California. This is helpless so cal so don't lump us in with the helpless. We have double the snow they have right now. And what they have right now is the norm for us every year. We're fine somehow.

@@Nyx_Nyx Right, that's the thing. Everyone expects the government to come save them if something happens. They don't have any personal accountability anymore. People need to wake up and realize they can't count on someone intervening when things like this happen. It doesn't cost much to buy a couple of weeks worth of food and water for emergencies, especially over time. People just don't prioritize their own safety, and it's sad. Even if this type of thing NEVER happened there, anything can happen. Fires, floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, even just personal job loss. People buy homeowner's insurance, medical insurance, car insurance, even pet insurance, but not insurance in the form of food, water, and supplies for emergencies. It's mind boggling.

It's crazy to me no one thought to remove the snow from that store rooftop before it collapsed.

Removing large amounts of snow from roofs to prevent buckling/collapse is like Snowstorm 101.

[@Iworkwithnitwits]

[@thehypequeeng7690]

Snow doesn’t come down this late into the year people go for the day up there to play in the snow. So theres usually a huge line going up mountain. And this was a record breaking snow storm.

[@Usernamebbn]

I don’t know much about the weather there… But here in Florida we really don’t know anything about snow. I have never even seen snow and would have no idea of what to do. I know it seems like a good idea after the fact that the roof buckled, but they may not have thought of it. I don’t know though if they never get snow like us but people would die in Florida if they were snowed in for nine days. We wouldn’t know how to handle it.

[@j.m.9727]

It's not that no one thought it. It's they couldn't. It would take a massive amount of people and equipment to clear a roof that size with that much snow (if it collapsed the roof, it's got to be thousands of pounds worth). People can't even get out of their homes or access their vehicles and vehicles from the outside can't make it on a tiny one way lane that isn't even totally cleared.

For that woman with the baby and anyone else that need the advice; if you're out of formula, as long as your baby doesn't have underlying allergies or specific medical conditions, whole milk will do in a pinch for a couple of days, it's perfectly safe as long as it's pasteurized which all store bought milk is.

Climate change has existed for centuries, especially from the 19th and 20th century.

It’s spring, the snow won’t last. It’s a temporary situation that you need to prepare for. And plan on being housebound for two weeks. And shoveling night and day.

[@jordanhuggett151]

I didn't even realize parts of California got snow let alone that much snow! I haven't seen that much snow in yeaaars in Southern Ontario! Hopefully everyone can keep helping out there communities in this tough time! Really sucks when your government lets you down in times like this!

[@Stacey505]

It reminds me of the time when my younger sister was born November 1975 I was 6yrs old; we only had heat from the gas stove; we ate beans from a can; the next morning the cars were buried under snow; we walked up the snow onto the roof and jumped in the snow; it was in South Dakota. Not California. My friend told me it snowed in Tucson AZ they never get snow; we need the water 💦 fill up lake Powel and Mead in NV.

[@RumbleCo]

We live in the central sierras. I have a heart condition, and I'm never without a months supply of my meds. We're not "preppers", but keep a small pantry stocked with food, water, and medicine in case of fire, inclimate weather, or any other situation that might prevent us from traveling into town . We invested in a small generator that keeps our fridge going, and the use of small appliances. ITS WHAT RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE DO TO REMAIN SELF SUFFICIANT IN TIME OF CRISIS. A week ?! LMFAO !!! Anyone that irresponsible doesn't deserve the airtime they're given to cry about it.

[@teem7030]

These days you can't trust anything to stay the same as always. Time to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Being Canadian Living in the Rocky Mountains my whole life and then moving to Seattle I grew up like this we used to walk on snow Banks and hope we didn't fall to our deaths on our way to school lol

[@jenniboo9441]

This is insane. I live in upstate NY. We have snow storms that produce 2+ feet of snow and the kids will maybe miss a day of school, if that. This isn't some new phenomenon that they don't know how to handle. We know how to prepare for snow and clear it away. There is no excuse for this whatsoever

[@benw4361]

Didn't a bunch of people die recently in NY because of snow? Kinda weird to be preaching about how well prepared NY is when they have their citizens freeze to death inside of their cars.

[@BrownBomber92181]

They got 7' of snow in one weekend, that is quite a big difference.

[@ST19859]

The southern CA mountains havent received this much snow in anyones recent memory, they literally arent equipped to deal with it, plus they have a lot more than 2 feet. Im in Northern CA, we've had 6 feet in just the last week which isnt even including the storms from a couple weeks ago, or the fact that I m not in the highest mountains. I ve been clearing the snow every day for weeks and theres just nowhere left to put it.

[@deekang6244]

@@ST19859 Even more reason to be prepared. It wasn’t her plea for help. It was her demanding tone, her outrage that this happened to HER. That NO ONE understands. But we do understand. Yes, others get it. It’s not that she shouldn’t get help. It’s that she won’t admit that she knew but didn’t prepare. There was no reason to not have a month’s worth of baby formula on hand. If I heard the storm of the century was heading my way, I’d borrow money to lay in supplies.

[@ST19859]

@@deekang6244 I highly doubt anyone making comments like yours has ever dealt with this volume of snowfall before. My community is very well prepared as is my household because we do expect weather like this from time to time but this has vastly exceeded what even we were prepared for. Some of these places have walls of snow 10 feet deep or more, do you have any idea what it takes to move that ?? To get vehicles moving through that ?? Not trying to excuse some of the people being completely unprepared but when someone says "I ve had 2 feet of snow at my place before, its not that bad" it tells me they really dont get it.

[@phillipbrown2318]

This storm reminded me of the snow storm of 1996 here in the east coast Extraordinary.

[@Heyymynameisjbells]

That’s crazy like two years ago my mom and I almost bought a home in Crestline I’m so glad we didn’t

[@SKISAY]

I got snowed in for a few days and we were well prepared! Plenty of food and water, plenty of firewood… plenty of formula for my 5mos old baby. I loved every single day of it! And then the snow melted and I was sad. I could of been snowed in for a month and still survive. That snow will melt in no time!

[@BrandonCiCi]

Omg Hudson is the cutest little baby. Glad he got his formula ❤

[@VictorSanchez-kx5hb]

I don't feel any pity for these folks. They know exactly where they live. They should be ready. The same thing happens during the fire season.

[@evang511]

You'd think that with some of these snow storms the U.S has had this year in unfamiliar places that people would learn to be prepared. Leaving the hospital with a newborn baby in that kind of weather is absolutely ridiculous they should have known to stay inside until its safe to return home. I hope they get help but its just mind-blowing to me that people living in these rural areas want/need help when they put themselves in these environments and now expect other people to risk their lives so they can continue living comfortably.

this is the prime example why people need to get into prepping

[@bepriceless]

You live in the mountains and then cry when they get snow. They knew it was coming, but they didn't prepare? She thinks it's a movie, where you just get rescued with the snap of your fingers. Spoiled people. They cry when there's no snow, and then cry harder when they get snow.

[@MaTaDor1314]

[@Ms.NoNo2]

They’re not even crying about the snow. They’re crying because no one has come to help them dig out in a WEEK. 🤦‍♀️

[@jagurz]

How insensitive can you be? They’re distressed because nobody’s come to help them in a WEEK. If the snow keeps coming, more people will get BURIED in their houses.

Part of living in the mountains is living in a state of preparedness, keeping an eye on the weather and maintaining necessary supplies and resources. It obviously isn’t for everyone.
