I remember, very well, the blizzard of 1978...arguably worse than this one....AND PEOPLE DIDN’T PANIC.
Basically, in the past 35 years, the nation has become sissified.
I’ve been through both. This has twice as much snow.
Who is panicking now? No one I know.
I think I see clear sky peeking through. Snow seems to have stopped, about 28 hours after it started.
Spot on. I left BOS yesterday at 9:50 am. I wanted to stay and witness this snowmageddon but I had to be in FL on Sunday. I have traveled in the NE for 25 years on business. These people have become wussified no doubt. 25 years ago this storm would have been a big deal but everyone would have been putting on chains, getting back up power and heat sources ready, and checking on their other emergency supplies, and making sure there was plenty to drink. They bragged about never closing things down.
Back then when I bailed on a trip to beat a storm they made fun of me. Now they insist I leave before it hits.
