  You’ve been hit hard twice and it’s only December. Do you think about moving?  Just curious. I live in Maine but come from Rochester NY and I don’t think I could deal with that level of disaster anymore.
context: 31 deaths is crazy… stay safe out there! >
  
  I'm in Ohio and had to be the bad guy to my in-laws by saying we weren't coming to Christmas Eve, then they called the next day and said it took them an hour to drive 10 minutes home from the dinner we skipped and how dangerous it was.  
  Some people gotta touch an oven to see if it's hot when you tell them ¯⁠\⁠⁠ಠ⁠⁠ಠ⁠_⁠/⁠¯ >
  
  Also in Ohio. Called out of work the day of the storm even though it was only a 15 min drive away. Roads were still not cleared fully 2 days later. >
  
  I called out on Friday, I do not like my job enough to risk my life for it, especially during the holiday rush. >
  
  Don't get me wrong. My job is great and it pays well. But money is money and it'll cost a lot more for my loved ones to arrange my funeral than it would for me to miss a day of work. >
  
  I’m in BC where we got hit pretty bad last week, and my ethos was, “I get paid less in a day than my car insurance deductible costs” >
  
  Haha I’m gonna remember this >
  
  Emergency services were turned off for 2 days during the storm. The city was completely inaccessible so if you get into an accident you're on your own. My street (a main street in the heart of the west side) had a snow drift as high a stoplight blocking all access. Down the way was an abandoned semitruck blocking the entire road as well as other abandoned cars sprinkled across the landscape completely buried in snow. Trees fallen everywhere too. The whole city was like this.
  I knew it was going to be bad but this one was BAD
