like, can't believe this is happening in america 
so many people affected... 200 million americans, that's crazy! 
and what about alex pretti, man... shot by border patrol for being armed? 
shouldn't he have been helped or whatever instead of killed? 
anyway, i'm sure it's just gonna get worse, more snowdrifts and power outages and stuff... do we really need this kind of weather on top of everything else? 
can't people just take a break from being outside for once? 
this is so crazy, like 200 million people can't even move 
... snowdrifts up to three feet deep are wild 
, how do ppl survive in that? 
at least they have live coverage tho, CBS News is doing a great job keeping us updated 
. I don't know what to think about that one. Can't we all just get along? 
. This storm is literally crippling the country... I just want it to be over already 
and power outages are a nightmare, especially during the cold winter months... 
! Like that one scene from "The Revenant" where Hugh Glass gets all lost in the wilderness... but instead of just being cold and hungry, it's entire cities getting slammed with snow and power outages 
. This storm is taking it to 11, folks... let's just hope everyone stays safe and dry until the sun comes out again 
!
