Hm. I think you've got a point with the blizzard. It's something that'll obviously take group effort and proactive solutions.

But with the flash-freeze event, I don't think the mods are saying that's the only thing that person will be doing all week. To do something compulsively is a lot like obsession or addiction, I think. You can try not to do it, but you'll have the urge, you'll feel like you have to do it at certain times or for a certain amount of time. And it'll make life difficult, for sure, but people live out entire lives with obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I think it'll be okay for a week.
