i don’t think i technically belong here, but i go to pitt and i came home to Buffalo for the holidays and there was a horrible snow storm. the city’s been shut down since thursday night. people have been without power for days and the snow was so bad that emergency responders couldn’t even respond to people bc they had to wait to get snow mobiles. they’re literally finding frozen bodies outside and it’s so sad, especially for it to happen on christmas.

Yeah, this is why I can't complain. It's cold, freezing cold, our pipes froze, and our power went out some 200 times..... But we have a home that is intact and no catastrophe. The house next door and across from ours has had some external damage. I've been following the news outta Buffalo, it's so sad. Buffalo was getting slammed even before the start of winter. I'm from NYC but endeared to the whole state.

Hope you and yours are well and warm! 💕

I recently moved from Buffalo (5 years in Elmwood) back to Pittsburgh and 1. You absolutely belong here. 2. My heart is aching for everyone I know in the city. I did a lot of work with the disabled population pre-covid and it haunts me how little support they've had since. I especially feel for those who really didn't have any guidance on how to prepare. My heart is with you and Buffalo. I can't stop checking the news.

The hot water pipe to our shower unfroze yesterday, and it seems there’s no harm done. Wishing the same for everyone else who has been dealing with frozen pipes.

/u/ovodrizzle13, I hope your friends and family in Buffalo are all okay.
