To my lovelies who are in the States (especially midwest) with a lotta damage snow, stay safe on the roads!! Something that I saw on a billboard was if you are stuck in a snow bank or just in general, remain calm, buckle up, stay put in your car (put on hazard lights), and call up people. It should lessen the risk of hypothermia and keep you safe at all times. Don't be afraid to drive slow too to keep you from low traction.
You know what? I completely support everyone except Ted Cruz who was able to go take a vacation or something out of the path of The Storm. Maybe it’s done for selfish reasons but we do not need more people for emergency services to be worried about. I’ve lived through natural disasters (luckily in areas relatively mildly affected) and I remember the endless lines of people trying to get gas. We do not need those lines to be longer. Suffering needlessly does not help anyone but reducing strain on already overloaded systems does.

'Top 10' snow storm slams into US east coast, 85 million affected
A massive blizzard which forecasters say could be among the 10 worst to affect the north-eastern United States is hammering the country's capital. Up to 3ft (90cm) of snow has been predicted in Washington DC and Baltimore, with schools closed, thousands of flights cancelled and a state of emergency declared across a vast area. In total, some 85 million people in at least 20 states are in the storm's path. Flight tracking site FlightAware estimates more than 1,100 flights originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday within, into or out of the United States have been cancelled so far.
I want to be very clear with everybody. We see this as a major storm. It has life and death implications.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser
An additional 7,000 flights were delayed on Friday alone. All major airlines have issued travel waivers over the weekend, allowing passengers to rebook to avoid the storms. The National Weather Service said the winter storm could rank near the top 10 to ever hit the region. NWS meteorologist Paul Kocin compared the storm to Snowmageddon, the first of two storms that "wiped out" Washington in 2010 and saw 30 inches of snow. Louis Uccellini, director of the weather service, said: "It does have the potential to be an extremely dangerous storm." He said the elements look set to combine to create a blizzard with strong winds, dangerous inland flooding, white-out conditions and the possibility of thunder snow - when lightning strikes through a snowstorm.

Winter slams Midwest, Northeast with sleet, cold and (yes) snow
Forecasters are warning motorists to expect slippery roads at the start of the work week as a storm brings freezing rain, sleet and snow from the Ozarks to New England. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Monday for a swath stretching from near St. Louis to southern New England as the storm moves northeastward from the Mid-Mississippi Valley. Poor driving conditions are expected through much of the day. Light freezing rain is forecast Monday for Washington and Baltimore, while Philadelphia and New York are expected to get freezing rain, sleet and light snow. Boston could see periods of freezing rain and sleet. Snowfall across the area, including the southern Great Lakes, northern Pennsylvania, New York and New England is expected to be 3 inches or less.
