I disagree
Anybody who stands in a long, long line to get into a bar, blizzard or otherwise, is wasting life rather than living it.
But
If they're having a good time, why do you care? They're not hurting you, are they?
Good, good

Going out to a bar in a snowstorm is always a good time. Everyone is happy, happy, happy. The storm adds some magic sauce to the night.

Have you no capacity for pity?
