This is why we NEED TO KEEP OUR GAS STOVES!!!
Always gotta have a backup butane stove
i know america isn’t the most advanced country but there’s no way there are no preventative measures to ensure something like this doesn’t happen! or at least have a back up plan! it’s 2026! we’ve had worse snow storms, this was absolutely ridiculous. we had no heat, hot water, electricity for days.
All of this mountain ⛰️ high snow pushed on the sidewalks by Mamdani boys. The snow ❄️ is absolutely disgusting filled with Dog poop, urine and frozen rats😳 God help us!!!
Those pet owners should be responsible to take the dog poop with them. If they don't take care of it, they don't deserve to own any pets
They’re over salting the streets, no wonder this happened.
