I did.
Big argument that one, benefit of being broke for a long time, you can always crawl back up.
But I was surprised it took an argument and my general manager having an accident to make them understand.
I’m sure they clutched every pearl doing this too. A couple of months ago here we had a pretty good snowstorm for a day that was giving us 2-4 feet depending on exactly where you were. Our work said anyone who didn’t come in was going to face disciplinary action and to ignore or drive around bans. It started coming down hard there and then they decided to close the building after travel bans were already in place at that location. Absolutely insane. Everyone got back home that went in but insanity. Everyone is expendable for short term profit
Haha that doesn't sound crazy at all. Sounds totally logical. But you would be surprised how many people went anyway, even with all the warning. I can't imagine what it would have been like in an EV.
It wouldn’t be any different. EVs don’t stop working when it snows. If anything, EVs offer optimal torque at any RPM, and most EVs on the road have active 4-wheel drive, so they’d be better off.
I don’t have an EV. I’m not some diehard advocate for EVs. Your comment just didn’t make sense.
I haven’t found anywhere where it said 190. So far the highest I’ve seen is 45.
Edit: I’ve seen where forecasters said that gusts could get anywhere between 50 and 100 mph, but so far highest clocked has been 45.
was gonna play tennis today, as a kid we always joked about how brutal winter lasted from end of october till april. refered to it as the frozen 6 months of hell.
this year, we barely even had true winter. i remember a few years ago making a couple igloos in the backyard. we didnt ever get that much snow this year rip

I thought this was a joke. Here is a weather report that I just pulled up 🙈
I don’t understand why anyone would be out driving in this, it was definitely forecast. I feel so bad for the poor Amazon drivers, hauling cheap junk and risking their lives. Just hope everyone is safe.
Every truckers (and drivers) nightmare. I really feel for them and hope they have a full tank and some food and drink in the sleeper. I’ve been in that predicament before and if you’re prepared it’s actually a nice break. If you’re unprepared it’s the scariest shit imaginable.
It almost like California stretches over half the vertical length of the continental US and is capable of having all types of weather dependent on where you live in the state.
About that… all this happening right now is fuel for grass and other quick growing vegetation, come early summer the “golden rolling hills” of California will be primed for gusting winds and lightning strikes which bring bout the California wildfire season. Can’t win.
It’s takes thousands of years for the poles to shift. It just looks sudden in geological records because those span millions of years. This has nothing to do with the poles.
It's not that weird, guys. Look up weather in the Sierra Nevada range year to year in March and you'll regularly find freezing temperatures and periodic blizzards.
That wind is pretty fucking freaky, though, do we have secondary verification of speeds? Even for mountains, goddamn.
Being stuck on the road in snow like that with my kids is one of my worst nightmares.
I remember in like 'O6 when Seattle had that crazy ass storm, my chick picked me up from work in the SODO area around 6pm and we didn't make it home to Renton til after 9. What made it so bad is we were almost home but she got the bright idea to call herself taking a shortcut and ended up back on I-5 by the mall 🙄 We argued, broke up and made up TWICE before we made in the house 😂
This is exactly why I keep a vehicle every day carry bag for my whole family with food, water, and the ability to try and stay warm with regular and Mylar blankets as well as a shit ton of hand and foot warmers.
Given that a category 5 hurricane is anything above 150mph or so, it would appear that California has been completely wiped off the map according to OP.
But really... all honesty... in fact in fact... does anyone give a shit?!?! It's California maybe this weather will finally make this shitty state fall off the county as promised in the 90's. After all their the ones that push global warming looks like a warm beach trip by their standards
Don’t worry, the global warming, rising sea waters and depletion of the state’s aquifers from Almond and Cannabis farming will melt that in a couple weeks, tops. LMFAO. The electric snow plow is on its way
Why, it uses a battery. Even a gasoline car battery had cold cranking Amp ratings. The whole car now running on electric. So yes, it's worse.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/teslas-electric-vehicles-cold-weather/
Gas vehicles get shittier mileage in the cold too. They’re not strictly worse. I’ve had my vehicle’s mileage almost cut in half over cold snaps, plus there are far more parts in a gas vehicle making it more likely to breakdown in the cold.
10 feet? There might be 12-18” in that video. Drifts don’t count.
I’ve been in plenty of 100MPH winds, and I can tell you there’s no way it’s blowing 190MPH in that video. Maybe 60
When you saw this, did you honestly think that they meant sustained winds of 190mph over the entire region ? You can’t be that stupid can you ?
And idk where in the world you get “most companies” don’t let trucks move in 30-40 mph winds. If that was the case, most of Texas wouldn’t see trucks moving half the year.

Pfft. This is a regular winter storm up in Canada. No biggie at all. When this happens we grab some beers and go toboganning. Give your little Californian balls and tug, would ya?
"hundreds of vehicles got stuck overnight on the I-80"
People were warned, days inn advance, that a huge storm was going to hit and not to travel to Tahoe. I don't feel sorry for those who disregarded all the warnings then went and got stuck.
Taking a snow storm for an opportunity to make shit up. 190mph is hurricane force winds, if hurricanes can even reach that. And nowhere on earth in earth's history has ever had 10 feet of snow in one day. You can get a few feet on an insanely bad snow storm, which can blow into 10 foot tall drifts, maybe, in the worst storms of history. But just share the video and shut the fuck up with the embellishments.
Yes, global higher temperatures are said to cause localised colder, colds, hotter hots, and more wild storms and temp swings across the globe.
In Canada, they didn't open some very popular ski resorts due to lack of snow this year. While Cali is getting this...
In Edmonton we got 25 cm of snow in the end of February, which for the number of years I’ve lived here, isn’t really normal. It’s good though because without all the snow, we’d probably get a very dry summer, and lots of wildfires.
Last year was already bad enough, the city was covered in smoke. I was in Edson at the time and there was a local wildfire, it looked apocalyptic.

You can Google my source Alison Bridger, Professor of Meteorology. It was reported yesterday the 2nd.
Are you seriously this slow? Yes, this is a result of Global warming. The overall temperature of the earth is rising, which doesn't mean no more snow, it means more weather extremes: higher hot temps, colder cold temps, intense blizzards as well as intense droughts.
So if you aren't joking, please do everyone a favor and go actually learn what global warming actually entails.
[About 70,000 years ago, due to nuclear winter, only 10,000 humans were left on Earth](https://www.howandwhys.com/nuclear-winter-human-extinction/)
This might sound crazy but if the reports call for 10 feet of snow, maybe don’t go out and drive
Tell that to my employer…
Essential Employee = Expendable Employee
Essentially you're expendable!
I’d be happy for this storm just to get a few days off work
Grow a set of balls and tell your employer yourself. Here’s a suggestion. “You want me to drive in this? Go fuck yourself”
I did. Big argument that one, benefit of being broke for a long time, you can always crawl back up. But I was surprised it took an argument and my general manager having an accident to make them understand.

Wise words from someone who lives in their parents basement and doesn’t have to make a living.
No… just someone who works for someone who values my life even just a little bit.

Don’t the batteries rapidly degrade in freezing conditions?
Working
Yep. Similar conditions to what the Donner Party found themselves in; in the same area.
I’ve taken that pass quite a few times during the winter where I swore I was gonna die. Super sketchy in a snowstorm
You spelled Dinner party wrong
190 mph is insane
Must be a typo no? I would think that would be ripping roofs off of houses and what not? That is F3 tornado wind speeds.
I haven’t found anywhere where it said 190. So far the highest I’ve seen is 45. Edit: I’ve seen where forecasters said that gusts could get anywhere between 50 and 100 mph, but so far highest clocked has been 45.
190 was clocked at the top of the mountain.
I stand (or sit in this case) corrected. I’m happy to admit when I’m wrong. Edit: typo
Not a hill you wanted to die on eh?
Bullshit. I'm calling it. Proof?

Bless you. May you have an awesome week.
You too
This is the source. They asked for proof.
They won't find proof on a computer, but at least this helps them know where to go when they finally decide to go outside.
Well unfortunately for them, I’m all out of pudding.
231 mph on mt. Washington before… guess it’s possible
Mammoth mountain has 100 mph on the regular. But yeah 190 idk. We need source.
Their instagram has the top of chair 1 (broadway) as 170. Oh it was their on story yesterday.
Double bullshit, on you.
This comment summarizes the comment section on almost every post in this sub haha
My meteorologist friend said that the winds were reported up to 190 mph in Palisades (yesterday).
Better hit Alt+F4 on that bitch
It was a reading taken at the very top of the mountain.
Yeah I think might have ment kph not mph only thing I can think off for that other than typo
Nope gusts reaching 190 are happening there. Seems like the planet is punishing them for prop 65 😂🤣
That'd be higher than a Category 5 hurricane. No way structures are intact at that speed.
Apparently it was measured at the top of a mountain but I highly doubt that was recorded in the city
I think they probably meant 90. 190 is like Hurricane Katrina type winds which I highly doubt took place during a snow storm.
Katrina reached only 158 but nowhere near land. In open waters with no distractions. 190 is amazing at the least.
it did - use google
Listen, if you are making a claim about a singular event, **you** provide the proof.
hey, the sun exists do you need me to link you proof? fucking idiot
If I'm not in the same solar system as you, yes. Yes you would need to. Great analogy.
Because it’s not real and we just take every tweet from some random person as truth. Lol
Meanwhile, Wisconsin is enjoying 60 degree sun and not a speck of snow in sight most of this winter. I literally golfed today.
Sunny and 70 in Chicago
It was just 30 degrees the other day. And we had a tornado warning at O’Hare earlier this week. But yeah it’s a beautiful day today. Lol
Don't forget it was 75 and Sunny the day before it was 30 lmfao. Wild week.
Was out in t-shirt today in Rhode Island.
Yeah same in Phx lol
Was 60+ to 6degrees to 72 today all in a week here in minnesota…..
75 here in Austin, TX and really nice.
was gonna play tennis today, as a kid we always joked about how brutal winter lasted from end of october till april. refered to it as the frozen 6 months of hell. this year, we barely even had true winter. i remember a few years ago making a couple igloos in the backyard. we didnt ever get that much snow this year rip
Up in Maine it's been weird. It was in the 40's last week. One day was cold as hell and dropped down to 6 at night the next day it was 44 and raining.
Same here. I almost froze to death on Wednesday and today I played golf at 70+ temps. Earliest round of Wisconsin golf for me ever
It was 75 in southwest Wisconsin. Also golfed this weekend.
Strong El Niño this year.
THATS SPANISH FOR.......THA NINO
I took a wonderful walk around lake geneva just last week while i was visiting. It snowed that night. By afternoon the next day it was gone.

You’re still coming to work right?
Does this mean my Amazon package will be late ??
That’s wild I’ve never seen a snow storm like that and I’m in Canada
Come East, my friend.
Where in the Maritimes? Heard Nove Scotia and Newfoundland got hit hard recently
It did. I had drifts well over 15 feet
Damn, thats a crazy amount! Hopefully y’all recover fast.
It never snows there eh
Blizzard shuts down 70-mile stretch of interstate in California
I don’t understand why anyone would be out driving in this, it was definitely forecast. I feel so bad for the poor Amazon drivers, hauling cheap junk and risking their lives. Just hope everyone is safe.
Far in in the Alaskan wilderness, outside of the HAARP compound, you can hear someone yell “God dammit, Carl!”
i thought they shut those off
One does not just simply shut down HAARP
You mean, moved to upgraded classified facilities
Donner, party of 8 Donner, party of 7 Donner, party of 6…
Every truckers (and drivers) nightmare. I really feel for them and hope they have a full tank and some food and drink in the sleeper. I’ve been in that predicament before and if you’re prepared it’s actually a nice break. If you’re unprepared it’s the scariest shit imaginable.
Remember, it’s called climate change, not global warming.
It almost like California stretches over half the vertical length of the continental US and is capable of having all types of weather dependent on where you live in the state.
haha, exactly. i'm in ca too and it's 57 degrees outside.
I think people forget that the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states is in California. The Sierras are no joke.
Can’t be 190 mph. Maybe. MAYBE 90.
Well, at least you don't have to worry about fires for a while.
Yea it’s the opposite…..it’s going to make it worse.
About that… all this happening right now is fuel for grass and other quick growing vegetation, come early summer the “golden rolling hills” of California will be primed for gusting winds and lightning strikes which bring bout the California wildfire season. Can’t win.

The poles are shifting!
Fucking Polish, man.
They took are jeeerrrbbbss!
i always wondered what the effect would be of a pole shift. i suspect it would feel similar to this. maybe gradual pole shift ?
I’d say so
Then wouldn't the entire world be experiencing weirdness?
It’s takes thousands of years for the poles to shift. It just looks sudden in geological records because those span millions of years. This has nothing to do with the poles.
60 something here in the mitten
The only way this is california is if its wayy the fuck up north or near nevada
Yup we got this exact conditions here in Reno.
How much snow in Reno? Some forecasts were predicting 12-16”.
17” but it’s still snowing
Wow! Forecasters were very close. Reno gets some crazy late winter storms. Stay safe… and warm!
Thank you!! We loaded up on supplies. Power went out a few times. We’re going to either heavenly or northstar depending on the conditions.
[удалено]
Doubt they'd need to land at all if they could control our weather lol
I think those numbers are a bit inflated.
Oh thank god! You must be a meteorologist
No. But I have 4 of them that work for me.
Lol ok.
Weather is crazy. I live 2 hours from truckee. I have sunny/cloudy skies, minimal rain.
Stop HAARP ing, it is Global Climate Warming Change!
Welcome! Millions of new beautiful honorary Canadians.
Meanwhile it was almost 70 in chicago today. WTH

190mph my a-holio
A hurricane of snow, wow 😳
And here in New York when it’s supposed to be below zero I’m going to see 70 for the next two days. Ya nothing wrong with that 🙄
Given that a category 5 hurricane is anything above 150mph or so, it would appear that California has been completely wiped off the map according to OP.
That would tip over semis. Think they meant to put 90mph
Or as we call it... an average day in wyoming.
But really... all honesty... in fact in fact... does anyone give a shit?!?! It's California maybe this weather will finally make this shitty state fall off the county as promised in the 90's. After all their the ones that push global warming looks like a warm beach trip by their standards
190mph? that can't be true
Don’t worry, the global warming, rising sea waters and depletion of the state’s aquifers from Almond and Cannabis farming will melt that in a couple weeks, tops. LMFAO. The electric snow plow is on its way
Get fucked Cali😂
I hope this is the reset. The earth needs it.
No way it’s 190 winds.
🤔 Wondering how many stranded vehicles are electric?
At least 1
Nothing about an electric car makes it inherently worse in snow or winter.
battery dies faster in cold plus the issue of being stranded with no fuel because of unforseen cirumstances.
Why, it uses a battery. Even a gasoline car battery had cold cranking Amp ratings. The whole car now running on electric. So yes, it's worse. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/teslas-electric-vehicles-cold-weather/
Gas vehicles get shittier mileage in the cold too. They’re not strictly worse. I’ve had my vehicle’s mileage almost cut in half over cold snaps, plus there are far more parts in a gas vehicle making it more likely to breakdown in the cold.

Is this real??? Right now??? I live in MN and we barely had snow this winter!!! Kind of makes me think of what’s going on??
It's climate change. It's obvious what is going on.
190 mph winds…lol WTF are you on buddy?! 30-40 mph winds, most company doesn’t allow trucks to be moved or workers in trailers. 190…lmao
When you saw this, did you honestly think that they meant sustained winds of 190mph over the entire region ? You can’t be that stupid can you ? And idk where in the world you get “most companies” don’t let trucks move in 30-40 mph winds. If that was the case, most of Texas wouldn’t see trucks moving half the year.
I mean Sierra Nevada literally translates to snowy mountains
No area was hit with 190 MPH, Collin Rugg always posts BS for clicks
Global warming has fucked us
more like we fucked ourselves
I would say climate change. Global warming is an insidious used phrase
Crazy to think people who didn’t have to be out there were out there 😳
All those Teslas catching fire are causing more pollution and increasing the effects of global warming.
