Soooo it's cold as balls where I live. I'm talking -20 F / -28 C with the windchill. The high today is 1 entire degree.

I'm sorry we failed you so damn hard Captain Planet smdh

Fuck this godforsaken polar vortex. And it's only December.

January is gonna be a bitch.

“If you think this is the end of steel at Churchill or something, you’re wrong. It’s a blizzard scene from North Dakota. The train shown here was delayed by huge snowdrifts which had to be cleared away.

Can we all just collectively agree that winter in the Midwest is hell like no other, like nothing compares.

We’re having a wicked severe winter storm right now that started yesterday and is supposed to last over the holiday weekend into Monday.

There’s pileups with 15+, even 50+ cars every hr.

There’s a state of emergency

Both of the major malls in my area closed early

DoorDash stoped deliveries

Hospitals are staying open by a thread

City buses are closing early

Some road commissioners are pulling their plow drivers off the road to keep them safe

Law enforcement is literally telling people to stay home

Majority of our roads are closed

And that’s not even half of it

Our newsroom is going crazy and our news director refuses to keep our reporters from outside even after our VIEWERS said they should be inside and voice their concerns because their faces are red, can only wear one glove because they need their phone to read their script, they’re squinting their eyes bc there’s a literal blizzard and the wind took off one of their hats like wtf

One of the members of my team (digital content/ web producers) posted to Facebook telling people to stay home bc he’s sick of writing about car crashes/pile ups even though he’s not supposed to and I’m pretty sure he got into some type of trouble. But like seriously, STAY HOME WHEN THERES SEVERE WEATHER WHEN YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE OUTSIDE.

I understand people unfortunately have to go to work and do t have the luxury to work remote when this type of weather happens (I luckily do, but fuck the employers who don’t allow that). Im not talking about them. Im talking about idiots who like to say it’s not that bad, and the literal surfers going surfing on the Great Lakes to catch a big wave. That’s so inconsiderate to emergency crews/ first responders, hospitals who are already slammed, and yes even news stations who have to write the 70th car crash or any other incident in the last 2 days because you feel entitled to have others suffer and come rescue you, putting them in harms way bc ure selfish and want to do whatever.

STAY HOME

[dowawitch]

Y’all, Ive spent like a solid half of my life in the midwest and ive never seen this kind of shit before

A couple feet of snow on my back porch is nbd, been there, done that

But wtf is this??

I don’t have an awning! That’s like two feet of snow hanging off the side of my roof! Everytime i open my door, i worry im gonna end up buried in an avalanche!

And yet, Gremlin had school today.

Todays weather is -11 with a high of -2 and wind chills making it feel like -30. Welcome to shitty Midwest winter weather. Love living here only during the fall, yeah we get four seasons but summer brings heat and humidity with a chance of tornados spring brings chances of tornados but fall brings cooler weather and leaves changing colors. And winter brings freezing cold temperatures,ice storms,snow storms,blizzards and sometimes it colder then Alaska.
