I don't understand why people go out to brave a winter blizzard when they are told way in advance it's coming and stay home and stay off the roads. People have a far better chance of survival by staying home even if your power goes out then trying to drive and get stranded where no one can get to you. Rip for the ones that lost their lives. It's truly devastating.

[@Liusila]

I guess sometimes it’s trying to make it to your family to be stuck with them rather than apart, or maybe travelling to save their livelihood in some way. Some probably thought they’ve survived worse or that they’ll outrun it.

[@pac6010]

It’s pretty normal if you live the snow belt to drive in bad snow storms and the days after. It’s not like down South where the world just shuts down. To a point it’s just like any other winter storm, until it’s not. But I think the main contributor was the holiday. People traveling for Christmas that would have otherwise stayed home definitely had an effect on the death toll.

As a Buffalo NY resident I am appalled at reports of the looting that took place during the blizzard. I feel that what these individuals did was reprehensible and that they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However I would like to make a correction regarding the comment made by the reporter who was covering the blizzard . He stated that he was told that the vast majority of Buffalonians were out there looting. I found his statement to be very offensive. I would like to state that the vast the majority of Buffalonians were not out there looting but are law abiding citizens who were in their homes hunkering down and riding out the storm. There were just a handful of individuals who were doing the looting.

Obviously not what he meant.

Open your heart to your heavenly Father. He already knows what your feelings are and the thoughts in your head, so start talking about it. Remember that God hears and answers every prayer, not on our schedule but on His, and not always with the answer we want to hear. Pray, spend time in your Bible and start praying using the verses. Give it up to God: The storms we face are too heavy and too big for us to face alone, but we never should have. Take the burden and lay it at His feet. Focus on God, and that His plan is perfect, and ultimately meant for our good. Even when it doesn't feel that way right now. We are in the end times many times they have preached to us about God and we ignore it. Now it is time to seek it from the heart. let's repent of our sins
