Jesus Christ, guy needs to lay off the coke.

That guy's an idiot. Power outages aren't caused by snow. Nothing like causing unneeded fear & panic.

Yeah, the search works so well, shortylickens was able to find the original and post it her... oh wait. Nevermind.

Power outages are caused by snow. When trees become heavy with snow the branches break and fall on the power lines.
Trust me on this. I live in Vermont.

what an idiot. he should not be spreading panic like that. he should be pulled off the air

 

[Cuda1447]

He's a douche

 

[Blueychan]

I found it entertaining

 

[JulesMaximus]

What a moron...

The weather people here in FL don't act like that even when Category 4 and 5 hurricanes are approaching.

why did people stock up so much on food, did they think they'd be stuck for weeks?
i've got enough food for a week or more generally

1. That is a Baltimore station, not DC. Baltimore != DC
2. There are over 65,000 folks without power just in Northern Virginia. Maybe you should go tell them that snow doesn't cause power outages.

It's like the fox news of weather reports hahah

Theres this thing called the SuperBowl, you may have heard of it.
I think I overheard someone mention it in a doctors office a couple years back.

That's not why. People around here are retards, and they'll clean out a store at the smallest hint of a snow storm. I've never been "snowed in" longer than 3 days, and that was by choice. I just didn't feel like going out and shoveling. For a legitimate snow in, I don't think it's been longer than 24 hours.

Sadly, most people like drama, even if it is over-(re)acting.

I would stop and ask someone at walmart or grocery store why they are hoarding things that will probably perish within the next week or so without being used, but I know I'm not going to get an intelligent answer.

HAHAHAHAHA that is awesome. I have never seen this before, so repost appreciated.

It's like Billy Mays and that guy that sells knives on TV giving the weather forecast.

I thought about that the other day when I drove by a store and it was packed. I generally have a case of soup on hand anyways but I thought it would be funny if these people that cleaned the store out lost power and all of the food they bought got spoiled.

 

[beepandbop]

It's like the keith olbermann of weather reports hahah

fixed

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Have people in DC never seen snow before?....

My issue is that if the supermarket is closed, I don't have a lot of food left that I like. Plenty of dried, canned stuff like pasta, beans, and tomatoes. Some frozen vegetables. But I just put the last of the fresh meat we had in the crock pot - 2 lbs of pork shoulder.

Could be worse, though. I mean, I live in walking distance of a Safeway, and I'm fairly sure it's open. Some friends of ours are already without power, so we're lucky in that regard.
