Going to top off some gas cans tonight after work in case we get into an extended outage situation where I have to run the generator a lot. Other than that I’m always pretty well prepped for storms. Lake Erie is 40 degrees right now so the lake snow could get pretty wild. To make matters worse temperatures are going to plummet Sunday into Monday, with the lows Sunday night through Wednesday night being the low to mid teens. If you don’t have power your house is going to get cold quick. ---

Someone needs to take that power away from baby Markie. No one needed an air raid alert at 9am to warn them about a storm that’s been the only thing anyone has talked about for 2 days. ---

> [@JayS](#): > > the only thing anyone has talked about It’s top of mind for most people I’d imagine. However, there are definitely people in the community who don’t pay attention to anything other than their immediate concerns. So society stoops to it’s lowest level once again. ---

Travel bans can suck my dick. They need to smack anyone trying to implement a travel ban. Understanding Your Right to Travel This legal right generally means you can move around areas of the U.S. without the government impeding you. **A state can’t keep you stuck within its borders or prohibit entry**. States must uphold the rights of the people, except as part of due process for specific case types. ---

Maybe im wrong, but most of wny looks pretty clear. Radar doesn’t look bad beyond usual snow bands.

Northtowns of Erie lifted the ban. I was out and about in Niagara County midday and just had to deal with blowing snow creating some snow covered patches of roadway. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2024-snowpocalypse-thread/1414316.md?page=2)
