You would think that this is the first snow fall NYC has ever seen. The hysteria and hype is ridiculous.
I have a few inches so far. There better be two feet tomorrow morning.
Why not just tell Andrew Cuomo and the legislators in Albany to face south and start talking. All that hot air will turn the snow to rain. Problem solved.
Wanna bet that this storm will not be half as severe as hyped by the media? I didn’t think so.
PANIC!
And buy milk, bread and eggs!
I hope DC, north to NYC, and all of New England gets 500 feet of Snow, and the temperature drops to -50 below zero for several years.
It’s going to snow. It happens. I can’t remember not being able to get out and about within a day after a storm in 50+ years. The worst part of a big storm is all the people buying French toast when I need to buy milk, not because of a storm, but because I am out of milk.
In order to make french toast.
The blessed algorbasm will turn the snow into rain thus saving the city from snowmaggedon!
I’m kind of hoping for about 10 feet of snow in Boston with total shutdown of all transport for 2 weeks, as punishment for cheating.
Wait’ll that two feet melts and you can kayak through your basement. LOL
Hey wait a minute!
I’m here!
Actually, I just want about 4 feet. That’ll guarantee I get the rest of the week off...lol
Today I received an email from a former colleague who works at Hanscom Air Force Base outside Boston. He reminded me that when we were both stationed at Griffiss Air Force Base outside Rome, New York in 1993, our commander called everyone together on Friday, March 17, 1993 to inform everyone in the unit that the base had been placed on the president’s Base Realignment and Closure Commission list for potential closure or realignment. After a few words about the list, he told us we were dismissed and we were to go directly home because a huge storm was headed our way.
It was sunny at 1430 (2:30 p.m. for those of you who need the translation). It started to snow heavily about 90 minutes later. By the time it stopped snowing about 30 hours later, we had 50 inches of snow on the ground. We shoveled out on Sunday and went to work on Monday as if there had been no storm.
My colleague told me they closed Hanscom around 1400 today and the base will remain closed tomorrow and maybe even on Wednesday.
I guess the self-anointed people living in the state with the “smartest” populace (The fools seem to equate average years of education with “smartness”.) seem not to have developed a plan to dig out of what in central New York or Wyoming or other states in fly-over country in the northern Great Plains would be a minor inconvenience.
I can see all the politicians requesting their states be declared disaster areas (New York and Massachusetts ARE disaster areas, but not because of the impending storm!) and then sticking their hands out for federal funds from the people in Wyoming and the states in the northern Great Plains.
Don’t forget the TP!
oops
No one is feeling as delfated as Tom Brady.
Rockland County - A mere dusting so far.....
