The horrors of such weather. Why didn't her company demand that she stay home? Are employers really this unaware of such dangers in their location? Some commentors blame the mayor for not issuing a weather warning.
RIP
A woman, 22, who froze to death while trapped in her car by snow yesterday sent a video to her family hours before she died awaiting rescue.
Anndel Taylor was found dead in her car after she became stranded over the weekend on her way home from work in Buffalo.
She was one of 35 in the city to succumb to the extreme cold in the worst winter storm to hit the United States in a generation.
The U.S. was still bracing for yet more snowfall and for the death toll — which has reached 60 nationally — to rise further.
Taylor was trapped in her vehicle for 18 hours, as more than 50 inches of snow surrounded her vehicle.
In her final messages to family over WhatsApp on Christmas Eve, Taylor said she was “scared” and sent two videos capturing the blizzard blowing around her. She shows the windshields of her car completely covered in snow as she rolls down her window.
It is not clear if Taylor died from hypothermia or from carbon monoxide poisoning after snow blocked the exhaust pipe as she attempted to keep herself warm.
