Hopefully this upcoming briefing isn't yet another attempt to double down on the tired "trust first responders and stay home, the chaos is the fault of irresponsible individuals" talking points we've been hearing from authorities since Friday.

A lot of people are dead and the city is traumatized. Neighbors are taking major risks in severe weather to help each other and many lives have been saved as a result. No one needs gaslighting right now.

Telling folks to trust authorities after years of doing next-to-nothing to build that trust is tone-deaf and arrogant. There were serious planning failures - things that should've been done *before* the storm, but weren't.

Fuck absolutely everything about this weather and winter.
I finally ventured outside to start my car, let it run, and clean it off, and I couldn't even get to it because though it's maybe 30 feet away, the snow was about thigh-deep.

I couldn't even see outside all weekend because the absurdly fierce winds had blown snow so hard, and so sideways, that it plastered a layer of it onto all the windows.
Even when that melted today, the visibility still wasn't great.

It wasn't even until I was actually outside at ground level that I realized the other side of the street not only was all shoveled, but there was barely any depth to the snow on the lawns, and the porches were clear of any snow.

Buffalo is currently frozen and crippled following the disastrous 2-day lake effect snow and high wind event being called the #BuffaloStorm2022 #BuffaloBlizzard.
The Buffalo NWS identified a particular type of cloud seen in this storm: gravity wave clouds.
Here’s what I found.

The Buffalo NWS has labeled the zebra stripe-patterned clouds seen below gravity wave clouds. This cloud type has been visible on radar and satellite imagery throughout the #BombCyclone #WinterStorm #winterstormelliot. 
This type of cloud has been visible on radar and satellite imagery for years, but, whereas it is claimed they were once somewhat unusual or rare, they can now be found in the sky every single day. They tend to cover huge swathes of land and are impossible to miss.
I see no justification for a police response to looting and burglaries that don't threaten anyone's immediate safety.
People are literally freezing to death in their homes and cars right now. Go rescue them!! No one cares about a 7-11.

This is really gross. People are taking basic necessities like toilet paper and water. In a neighborhood where most residents can't afford to stock up on those things.
And the cops' attitude is just...🤢🤬Zero empathy for what people are going through.

First responder heard over the scanner just now,
"There's a lotta refugees on this street. You'd think we live in freakin' Africa or something."
Who's recording the scanner? I need an audio of that clip immediately.

You know who I hope has an absolutely terrible Christmas?
The Buffalo landlords whose tenants are currently freezing to death in shitty, criminally inadequate housing units not fit for purpose.
Fuck every single one of you.

On top of the subzero temperatures and lack of heat, people are dealing with blizzard-like conditions INSIDE their houses thanks to broken windows, poorly sealed frames, etc.
And the city's probably gonna bail landlords out w/ subsidies instead of the consequences they deserve.

For the record, I'm a small landlord and my property isn't exactly luxurious. But I arranged for my tenant to go stay somewhere with a generator because I knew that house wouldn't be safe in an extended power outage.
Landlords getting rich off sub-par housing = scum.

This is a feed to centralize the list locations where people get warm in WNY.

Instead of blaming trapped motorists, try:
- asking why a ban wasn't implemented sooner. A lot of people were stuck at work when the storm hit.
- asking why city and county emergency announcements are English-only in a multi-lingual city.

The whole "I'm from Buffalo, I don't fear snow, catch me hauling ass down the I-190 in a Blizzard with a super mighty in my hand" persona is a fun joke for locals but a terrible disaster preparedness plan for the government.
How does the city not have snowmobiles?!

Less than an hour later - wind gusts are picking up and rain has turned to snow. It’s still cold! My dog is loving it.
