... like, 200 million people are gonna be affected, that's crazy! I hope everyone gets prepared, stock up on essentials and whatnot. It's always a bummer when bad weather hits, but at least it brings us together, you know? Like, have you seen those videos of neighbors helping each other out during blizzards? 
That's the kind of community spirit we need more of.
. It shows there are still some people who want to work together, even when things get tough. Of course, it's no guarantee of future progress or anything, but hey, a little positivity never hurts, right? 
It's gonna affect so many ppl & I'm low-key scared 
But seriously, it's def not your average snowstorm, ya know? The forecast is saying we'll get sleet & freezing rain too...that's just crazy talk!
