#buffalo #blizzard #weather
If you can’t drive they need to take food in.
Punishment for American Colonial War Crimes.
Can’t believe it’s still this bad there. I love some but that would be even too much for this snow lover.. rip to all who died.. please get the military out there to give out food, water and warm clothing! There’s NO excuse for people going hungry now that the military is on the job. They HAVE the snow mobiles and equipment to do this!
This is still going on?
yep
It’s just going to get worse every year from here on out. All can do is just be prepared. My heart goes out to the families that lost their love ones.
@18wheeler76 10 yeras = 121 pesos = 1,402 rubles.
@18wheeler76 all those lying scientists right? Surely it’s the politicians and oil lobby that’s telling the truth
Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Russia experience events like these from time to time?
@Sanctified Atheist The whole point of being weather out of the ordinary is where it occurs. New York has never before had this much snowfall in its recorded history. The Arctic Circle has.
Well this happens when you don’t want to raise taxes…
What does that even mean?
Hopefully they come up with a better plan for next year because this type of storm is going to keep continuing and getting worse
Thoughts a prayers going out to those playing victim because they’re idiots. #globalwarming
Hindsight is 20 – 20.
Just stay home.. there was a lot of warning. It’s not worth your life. RIP to them and I am sorry if it was your family
Stay home 🏠 stay off the roads …. 😮… fire me dammmittt …. I quit …Self love ❤️ ….. it’s not first responders fault… 😮 … god bless all the departed souls 😢❤❤❤…
No Race Card Needed…. 😮
Mother Nature Always Wins … Facts
34 years in United States, I never see blizzards this long. It usually over the next day and warm up. It’s been 4 days and it’s getting worse instead. It’s more colder than when it started on Christmas eve.
@highflowerfairy your delusional the media is paid for by these government criminals and yes I’m telling you that because who do you think makes all the money off this clean energy garbage the politicians that got in at bottom ding ding. Wake up the media is not your friend and they feed you what they want you to hear and yes I’m 40 years old I’ve been around long enough to know these weather events are no worse over the years grow up and wake up to what media and government is doing.
@youtubetim Oh, okay, so that comment was supposed to go here. You’re comment wasn’t showing up, thought youtube glitched in a different way. So let me repost that real quick.
@youtubetim3577 You mean scientists, who study the topic day in and day out, are telling us things are getting worse, and man is accelerating the downfall.
It’s a conspiracy theory to think the media is making this up and somehow got every industrialized nation and the entire scientific community in on the diabolical plan to live cleaner for the life of our planet.
Join us in reality, won’t you?
@youtubetim Well, buddy. I’m not far behind in age, I’ll be 37 in February. So there’s that.
And I’m not listening to the media on this. I’m listening to the scientists. If I were smarter, I’d be a scientist. It fascinates me, I’m just not good at it.
And the media isn’t bought by the government. The government is largely bought by big dollar donors, and the media is influenced by advertisers. There’s some overlap. But no, the government does not own the media.
@highflowerfairy private donors ( the top rich people ) own the government and media, which In turn means the government tells media what to say, why do you think there are lobbyist groups? Not for the well being of people as a whole that’s for sure, who do you think funds these “scientific studies” the same people.. if government can tell big tech what to do and say which is proven what in world makes you think a biast news media station is any different or some university that gets massive donations to do these studies.
@youtubetim I’m watching a documentary. I don’t care to engage further with somebody with such a warped view of a real problem. Have a nice evening.
Why does that Honda Element have a bullet hole in the front window
Both tragic,dangerous and brings thoughts of prayers for thise who lost loved ones.
30 minutes or 30 mile from your shift is workers comp!
Emergency services didn’t fail, they were just as paralyzed. Stay where you are and stay off the roads!
EMS didn’t fail, but neither did she. She was heading home from work.
thing is penny crabtree of buffalo new york has been hoarding food and not sharing- gross woman
Democrats want to ban the use of gas vehicles. But they also don’t know what bathroom to use so there goes that. Global warming is our biggest threat.
How did she die sitting in her car? Did we get the news there?
People were freezing to death in their cars.
I’d take all that snow, filter it out and store the water from it for times of draught anywhere in the world.
Truly very sad my heart goes out to this family l am praying for that God gives them the strength that they need to carry them through this difficult time. God bless you Always.
That car was sniped 1:34 😳
Some streets and sidewalks are clean N snow free on the video. Wow
A lot of the city has been plowed at this point, and as soon as the blizzard ended and it warmed up a few degrees folks started getting out and shoveling.
Why African do not speak in their local language, instead adopt English language as their mother tongue. Why? Why? Everyone must muse over that Why African Americans are not allowed to speak in African languages. Why English has to do with North America?
…. they can speak whatever language they please. We have many languages spoken in this country.
U must be trolling
HAARP Weather manupliation at its worst!…
How’s those electric cars holding up
The city failed her??? HOW ABOUT STAYING HOME YOU IDIOTS!?
Poor young woman stuck waiting in her car, so sad.
Not sad you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. The woman should have stayed home
Global warming
We all need to remember we cannot and should not depend on government to help us survive!
What ever may come what may!
Our family! Our neighbors! Our Church! Our Friends!
Learn and Teach Safety…
Wheather it be Blizzards, Floods, Hurricanes, anything that could harm us!
Teach our children how to to safe and survive!
My Condolences goes out to all the families and friends of those that were lost! 💜🙏🏻💜

Not one tear for their dead sister🧐
When you have a warning at least a week in advance, there’s no excuse to be out in the storm or not to be prepared.
Oh. Well. Human.
Well, there was a reason. It’s called her job. And no one knew it was going to be as bad as it actually got.
How you gonna live in buffalo and not have dozens of track machines for winter. You’re on the east end of a northern lake…. Are you stupid or something?
I don’t understand… Did she not have chains?.. or snow tires… Or blankets or hand warmers or a tank of gas? Did her car die?… I’ve had my car break down at 3am in -30 wind 10 miles from home… It is scary… But if your car still runs… I mean a half tank of gas in anything should be able to idle for awhile….
But we can assume all people realize they must prepare and plan to be safe. In the old days, employers wouldn’t send people home or tell them not to come in. Especially with banks. I was caught in ‘78 blizzard. Took me 8 hours to get home. On a bus. Ive prepared ever since. I was very prepared for this storm. We do what all Northerners do in winter. It will get cold. We will get snow. My car has an emergency kit ready. And I survived back when there was no internet, no cell phones. But just being prepared for anything.
emergency responders can only do so much.
Thank that mayor for all the dead. More funding for police who did nothing and less for ems and infrastructure.
first responders needed a rescue team added…with much needed snowmobiles and saint bernards with tons of booze and water….door to door.. get those teenagers working
Just wondering but usually in bad weather wouldn’t they would offer the nurses a bed to stay in. Pretty sure hospitals have room there just for the staff.
She was an aide. She wasn’t necessarily working in a hospital setting.
I am pretty sure there were warnings before the storm hit Buffalo, people just ignored it and suffer the consequences.
Everyone had been warned of the imminent storm!
There should be emergency funds for paying workers during dangerous weather situations to let them stay home. But some professions need them there no matter what.. like medical and emergency workers, oil delivery drivers, roadside assistance helpers.
My condolences to all families that are grieving and my prayers goes out to NY
Also Mother Nature can do anything an all people in country can do deal with it best they can an help each other out if possible
Just wondering why a state of emergency wasn’t called ahead of time they knew these storms were coming why did no one already have military and heavy machines to help
I live close to Buffalo on a Great Lake. Winters here can be hard. But 99% of time our weather people know it’s coming way way in advance. And we did with this one. More than 7 days. Weather reporting here is big news and done with exacting science. I was called by my city, emailed, texted. From utilities, city, cable and cell companies. I prepared. Very well. We were spared snow. Just got cold. Very cold. But I felt warm, safe and bundled in my home. Had a great fire going. Great holiday spent on FaceTime with relatives. We can be in touch so many ways today. No need to try to travel anymore. That is just very silly and dangerous.
With these types of new weather conditions. Local and federal officials should reconsider investing in improving emergency infrastructure.
Its a bit of a disappointment since this storm was called out for days. Officials have to be aware of people’s behavior when it comes to the holidays and weather.
She should have ran to someone’s house
We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails
Great comment. More is said with less. I didn’t survive 70+ years in the North by not constantly adjusting. I’m saving your quote. It won’t get many likes or replies. But that’s for us to know.
Next is the amount of snow that will melt. Phase 2 and people should get ready.
Stop global warming, anyone?
I like how she tried to blame emergency services when they couldn’t even get anywhere. ridiculous.
Welcome to winter wonderland, love Mother Earth karma
How about: stop ignoring warnings and stay home!
How about not being a jerk? She was coming home from work, she wasn’t out joy riding.
Can’t people stay home for a bit ?
You don’t even need to dig up snow , that 💩 will melt later or you can deal with it later when it’s not dangerous!
And you really don’t need to drive you car 🤦♂️ ,doesn’t anyone watch disaster movie ?
My heart goes to that family but nobody could get anywhere not even the army could get tho
There are major shortages of plow truck drivers. Roads are not treated as thoroughly as people expect them to be anymore. States are in DESPERATE need of road crews. And the ones they have can’t keep up with the weather.
Maybe they should declare Marshall law? Not sure what the guidelines are for that.
It’s all too easy to judge and lay blame. It’s a series of unfortunate events. Heartbreaking.
It’s not the fault of EMS. If anyone is at fault, it’s her employer.
This happens because americans turned their backs on God !…
Ems could have help this working woman instead they end up wasting their time on stranded looters
My prayers definitely go out to the young lady and everyone who lost their lives in this deadly storm🙏🏽However, you can’t blame the emergency responders and say that they failed anyone. We can’t control Mother Nature! These first responders and emergency personnel are human beings just like the rest of us! They are NOT invincible and they were doing all that they could do at a time like that.
They still let people going to work!??? Wow
Either stay at home or stay at your job. Minimum of three layers of clothes.
“You have failed this city!” – Oliver Queen
So!!! I noticed the population in Buffalo are mostly African Americans. Are they going to claim that the Blizzard is racist??????????
They have deployed troops and there is a curfew.
Do not expect others to save you. Never go out in a car in winter without survival preparations in your car. That means extra socks boots, gloves coats blankets food flashlight, flares.
But guess who’s in St. Croix….I can’t believe our president holds the record for most vacation taken, more than any other president in history, and he hasn’t even been in office for two years yet.🤦
The mission ought to be a multi-pronged mission, part rescue, part retrieval, part distribution of products, part installation of heat and hot water, and part evacuation where necessary, a full intervention, eventually the army corp replaced by civilians to run the system.
Put homeless to work to clear snow , who says there is no work
Blame Irving berlin for white xmas
And bing Crosby!
If the boss says get to work but you’re having major surgery, do you go to work? If your house was on fire, do you go to work? Any job that can order you to risk your life is not a job that you should worry about losing! When you live in Western New York, and the barometer is below 28.50 at 5 a.m., you DO NOT get in a car! Period! Of course this is the worst storm many people have ever seen — if you’re only twenty-something years old! Talk to someone who has been around longer! This storm was very reminiscent of the 1978 Ohio Blizzard, and early that morning, the Ohio Governor was heard on the AM radio, “Do NOT Drive!” and it saved lives. Younger people, please listen to someone over the age of sixty: we’ve been through this before! 🌨🌨 – j q t –
GOD’S ANGER ON ANTI CHRIST
USA BIGGEST SUPPORTER OF ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE COUNTRY OF JESUS CHRIST ITS A BIG SHAME ON CHRISTIANS
Did the person who died not have a full take of fuel to keep the heat on? Never get on a highway etc without a full tank of fuel.
But yet the black looters were able to get out and about. They are so resourceful!
The Mayor, County Executive, Director of EMS all need to Resign NOW!!!!
Don’t take revenge just because I shared some harsh words about US. May God bless US and victims of winter storm.
I knew this storm was coming for months by watching the polar vortex 🤷♂
But that’s the problem, whether they were educated or not, the problem is with frost in all states and the heat won’t come anymore, the rain is coming
The emergency system was busy with many calls, they can’t get to everyone. Also they did say not to drive or go outside due to the weather.
Didn’t even bother to get out and fight for her life??..but it was Instagram..Full on justice by fate
Drive bigger cars global warming could fix this right?
I’m sorry for the families loss. But, why do people think the city would be able to respond under those conditions. It’s up to every individual to try and be as prepared as possible for emergencies. Give. Agencies aren’t going to be there for you. Your family,friends and neighbors are going to be your help. Again I am so sorry for the family.
Doordash and snowmobiles might help a lot.
Hearts go out to the people who got looted under this corrupt biden administration they will get the free card for stealing…
Afterwaves here I’m seeing you’ll get another, less cold though.
Loot loot. 😂
Employers should advise their non-essential empoyees to stay home or allow them to spend the night at their work place until the roads are cleared during the night to keep drivers safe.
Nbc abandoned Americans for fox News Rubert Murdoch. Brian Roberts of Comcast helped Murdoch buy Disney.
*why does the vehicle at **1:29** has a bullet hole and the Windows shattered?*
The Governor- NY emergency management and police can shut down roads anytime they deem necessary. As this storm was scheduled to arrive and be catastrophic why did officials endanger; first responders, professional drivers, regular operators and passengers by not banning travel ahead of this deadly event? I don’t live near Buffalo but common sense says that could have spared a lot of pain. My prayers go out to all involved.
She was on her way home from WORK in that mess!?? Get a lawyer.
Preppers look pretty smart right now.
I wonder why thay girl didnt get out after 12 hours and walk to the bearest housem yeah it was like a white oit but you live there and must have had warm clothes going out in the storm, after 12 hours and no help find any building to get into. I haye to say it but not much common sense there. Based on the video she probably could have opened the car door…
“And we will surely let them taste the lower punishment before the greater punishment that perhaps they will repent.” (Quran 32:21)
Repent!
Say no to usury!
Say no to immorality!
Say no to sodomy (molesting each other’s rectum)!
Say no to drone attacking innocent ppl around the world?
Say no to frauds like fiat currency!
Say no to injustice and oppression!
Say no to elites filling their pig bellies while poor starve to death!
Establish the divine order on earth, get in harmony with the universe obeying The Supreme Infinite Ultimate Reality, Allah!
Imagine what could have been done if you didnt spend a billion dollars on a football stadium.
People around the rest of the country may not understand just how deadly snow can be, they laugh…when they shouldn’t There have been some distasteful comments from areas like Florida and California. you dont see people from Buffalo laughing at your hurricanes and earthquakes or wild fires…. between the racially motivated supermarket shooting a few months ago, to this incredibly terrible blizzard ….to the #BillsMafia helping charities all over this country. . . Hey rest of America, say your prayers, meditate, send good vibes, whatever you believe in, bring Buffalo goodness in this holiday season. . . and maybe, just maybe, if its not your hometown team. may this city see a SuperBowl Victory for all those who have perished terribly this past few months from these just tragic events. AND @NBCNEWS , never forget Tim Russert, and his hometown. . . pray for those families that lost members during the holiday season…and lets go Buffalo, Go Bills.
U.S. our thoughts are with you! Love from Africa
Moving to Mexico, warm, less crowded and lower cost of living😊
