This is awesome! Thank you for doing this!

The NC Mountains have record breaking snowfall (and it's still falling) for the month of October - EVER. Caught off guard. Usually gear-uo for Thanksgiving and pray for snow. Last year in the 2011-2012 School  year, they didn't miss a day for snow! Already missed 2 this year and it's not Thanksgiving yet!

Most don't think of  those that live in the Mountains because they are used to it. They don't think about the thousands upon thousands of college students that are here that have never seen snow, do not know how to handle them selves, drive in it, or survive a day, much less weeks without power!

People don't realize what's going on unless you've lived or stayed through a storm. People panic just like everywhere else.

I am a survivor of superstorm Sandy . I find your shilling for the American Red Cross- an organization that only shows up when reporters are present- that invades childrens schools pressuring for free untainted blood they then SELL at great cost ( they SELL almost all the donbated blood -did U know that ? and are one of the biggest blood sellers in the WORLD ?

The money is used to fly around ( on private jets !) poltically connected people like Bob Dole ... its HARDLY a charity  worth donating to.

I'm really surprised OH  would put its reputation on the line  shill for these lowlifes without doing way more  research.
