October 30, 2011 11:50 PM NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Saturday’s snow storm made life in Zuccotti Park miserable for Occupy Wall Street protesters. Demonstrators were left drenched with rain and then snow as the storm moved through the region. Central Park set a record for both the date and the month of October with 2.9 inches of snow. Those camping out in the park have been stockpiling donated blankets, scarves, coats and have been trying to get more tents, cots and tarps. PHOTOS: October Snowstorm According to an “urgent” alert on their website, OWS is looking for a number of other donations, including waterproof boots, gloves, hats, hand and foot warmers and disposable foot covers among other things. The site says the protesters “are in need of emergency supplies crucial for cold weather survival (and occupation).” The site says they also need cots to get protesters off the ground, adding that they don’t have any and “could really use these.” Reportedly, some have been even getting winter weather survival tips from the homeless. They say they’re also looking for thermal heaters after fire officials removed six of the protesters’ gas-powered generators from Zuccotti Park on Friday, saying it was safety issue. “The argument could be made they just wanted to get at our power source,” said demonstrator Brian Najdanik. Without generators, protesters were left with just flashlights and lanterns. Lights, cooking equipment and the media center at Zuccotti Park were all turned off. Fire officials say storing gasoline in such packed quarters is simply too dangerous. But the protesters are coming up with a new solution – a stationary bike and generator connected to a battery. “We’ve got five bike-powered generator systems that are coming from Boston and we’ve got five more plus other ones that are going to supplement as well so we’re completely, completely off the grid,” said demonstrator Lauren Minis. Insiders at Occupy Wall Street say they expect to have their media center and the food service area fully powered and illuminated by Monday. The movement is also expected to reveal just how much money they have raised and spent in the first five weeks of the Occupy Wall Street campaign. OWS has reportedly raised nearly $454,000 and has spent more than $50,000 so far for things like food, clothing, medical supplies, laundry, media and other expenses.

Why was my daddy sent to a re education camp? At least there will be someone worried about you....;} Enemies are held to the strictest standards. Allies get a pass. This double standard is the number-one cause of anti-Americanism in the world.
You're really on-target today. And not blaming "zios". Out of 'shrooms?? ;-)
Amazing that hanging with truth is considered to be equal to an out of body experience...;}
