Reply to comment by Kristalderp in Western NY death toll rises to 28 from cold, storm chaos by novotlr

I thought they had a no travel/driving ban? I understand that a woman died on her way to grocery store?

People will go out for their jobs and to the store as they think it's "not that bad" but it is. And it got worse.

Happens with floods, hurricanes...it's sad 😔 with snowstorms like this it's worse as no plows= walls of snow blowing about and nobody can move. So people are trapped in their cars in subzero temperatures and keep the car on to stay warm...but die due to carbon monoxide poisoning as they don't clear the tailpipe of the snow. Lots of people trapped in their cars died this way.
