Apologies for the flippant remark. From what I’ve seen the storm was equivalent to a tsunami, and I feel for everyone with person or property in its wake. I’m glad that there were few fatalities (compared to the magnitude of the event). I thank modern technology for the heads-up and the weather forecasters for their stern warnings.

For all practical purposes, it was essentially a tsunami as far as the deatruction was concerned.

However, in light if the mess and destruction everyone was focusing on on the east coast, it’s really somewhat unfair to all those in the mid- Atlantic states who got buried in more snow at once than they probably normally see in one winter. And they are not eqipped to deal with those amounts of snow.

Heck , even here in NYS, that much heavy, wet, nor’easter snow would tax our ability to deal with it. WE’D have trouble with it and we’re used to dealing woth snow.
