“As in the good ol’ USSR days, the communist governments always blamed the weather or the international situation for their failings.”
Allow me to play Devil’s Advocate.
Could there actually be a God? If so, and Neu Yuk Sh*ty just elected a communist to the Mayor’s Office, could this just be G8d saying:
“You did WHAT! I’ll frost your butts for that!”
And it is about to happen.
The Devil’s Advocate invokes Occam and rests his case.
Several posters have commented on how forecast maps indicate that the heaviest snow will fall on the cities in the northeast. We're looking at twelve inches here in central Red Hampshire...since there isn't much on the ground at the moment; that will prove a blessing. It is the WIND that I fear will cause a power outage in my area...no heat, bummer.
