Reply to comment by kaijugigante in After deadly Buffalo blizzard, families scramble to find food and essentials by PinkClouds20

Yea, as a Canadian not far from Buffalo, I was quite surprised (and saddened/horrified) that people died in their cars, freezing to death. That means the storm was so bad that they probably lost cell phone signal or had signal but no one could come help.

The streets have four feet of snow on them and there were abandoned cars all over as well as zero visibility. They had cell service but no one could get to them. 911 was telling people to pray because there was nothing anyone could do for them.

Well, I've personnally been in that situation. Being stuck in your car, on the side of the road durring a blizzard is aweful. I tried to wave down police, fire, plow trucks, and nothing. After, the 5th police car came by I finally got help.

I got stuck on a summer road, eventually some redneck with a big ass truck saw me and pulled me out. Thought I was gonna die. I never met him before and not even a week later he was at a party I was at and telling everyone he saved my life. He probably did but shit was embarrassing haha.
