    I have a friend of a friend who was stuck for 26 hours. Even gas vehicles had to turn off their engine after a few hours, which is pretty dangerous.

      "When Electric Vehicles Stuck in Icy Winter Storm" doesn't make any sense. Maybe what you meant to say was, "When Electric Vehicles Get Stuck in an Icy Winter Storm."

        Well, it kept Tim Kaine out of Washington for a day, so there's one silver lining.

          Hit a paywall. What does it say?

          It says it would suck if you were in an electric vehicle and got stuck in the Virginia 95 nightmare from the snowstorm on Monday. Hundreds of vehicles were stranded on a 120 mile stretch of 95...

          Yeah, it would suck. It would also suck if you ran out of gas.

          If nobody drove anywhere and only went within walking distance of their home during weather events, this problem could have been completely avoided.

            Yes, Mr. Biden should make this a mandate.

            We didn't see this sort of problem with Mr. Trump in the whitehouse.

              The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      The governor is responsible for a heavy snow?

                          @mik notice he did NOT call out Governor Blackface.

                              In all fairness, he didn’t call out Youngkin, really, either. However, the Only-Trumpers used it as an opportunity to attack and he tried to extract himself from the whole thing.

                              I’m far closer to Goldberg’s POV on most issues than I am to say MJT, and I think it would be more than a waste to alienate him from the party.

                                Yeah, he did. He implied that the governor was not doing what he should. Before he was sworn in. Goldberg is supposedly a journalist. You check yourself before you wreck yourself.
