Got about 1.5 feet of snow overnight, and it's still snowing and is supposed to keep snowing until tomorrow morning. I'll be over 2 feet soon, I bet.

Because it's good to learn from the past.
Blizzard of '78... The storm killed approximately 100 people in the Northeast and injured around 4,500. The storm also caused over US$520 million (US$1.88 billion in present terms) in damage.

It's winter, snowstorms happen. Yes, it is best that people be advised against travel and sit at home for a day or two if the snow gets heavy or the visibility bad. It's only a major annoyance for those who have to be out in it, because it is part of their job. |

11 inches? I've got double that plus some. I'm not knocking the shutdown of Boston. The seas have been a bit bad also. Blew out some of the seawalls. I'm coastal but we rise a bit higher, faster in altitude but other towns aren't as fortunate. And the winds have been strong, still blowing things around. The only benefit if you can call it that was it's been colder than they thought so the snow is more compact (smaller flakes) so the depth (short 1 foot as predicted for my area) and weight isn't so bad but the drifts are getting pretty high.

Its because if they don't over react and just react and expect people to do the right thing and they don't and shit goes sideways its "why didn't the state stop everything. we must blame those in charge for not protecting us from our own stupidity." The state simply cant rely on the populous to act accordingly and not be fucking retards. My exact thoughts. Either one the government in this case doesn't win. Err on the side of caution. |

gotta admit, I find it hilarious hearing the southerners talking shit about the northeast handled a blizzard. aren't you guys the ones that had your entire region crippled by like 5 inches of snow not long ago? up here plows don't even bother coming out until there's 4 or so inches, they just put down salt and call it good and kids don't get a snow day until there's 8+ inches of snow. so really, who are the pussies when it comes to snow?

The high concentration of liberals is the problem. It's funny that a guy from MO is critical of the response of libtard areas in the NE to a snowstorm. It would be even funnier to see how the cities in MO would react to getting 12" of snow at once. |

Everybody wants to whip their pecker out and measure it when winter comes around. But in reality, if there was no electricity, plows, natural gas, etc., "smart" people from any region dumped in Maine would pretty much be equal after one season of learning how to deal with it. Just like you would learn to deal with all the things you don't have there: Water moccasins, copperheads, ticks, chiggers, timber that won't split easily, drought, and yankees that want to tell you how they can do it better. |
