This was not an over-hyped storm. It simply tracked further east than expected, so New York City got six inches instead of two feet. But the two feet (and more) did fall ... just further east on Long Island and up into New England.
Oh, and we may have more coming over the weekend -- followed by Arctic cold next week. I don't think the groundhog should even bother coming out for a while. LOL.
Forecasters such as Joe Bastardi have noted for some time an eastward bias to the GFS. This time the GFS had it right. Folks are pretending that nothing major happened with this storm. Tell that to my friends southwest of Boston who have 30 inches of snow to shovel.
Soooo...I am expected to depend upon the government to tell me how to survive?
My point isn’t that bad storms come and go. Of course they do. My point is that liberty means we can figure out for ourselves how to survive....the men and women of the 18th and 19th centuries had no infrastructure in a modern sense, and faced dangerous conditions.
They were able to get by without governors threatening them....we can, too.
