2. You may have to worry about your stinky garbage, which nobody is picking up today because of the snowpocalypse.
3. Hey, do the right thing and check in on an elderly neighbor. Maybe they didn't have time to shop for food before the storm. Maybe their heat is busted. FDNY says it's the right thing to do, so it probably is.
