Me too. This repeated hammering of the DC & NYC areas is making me smile for that reason.
No offense to you guys over there having to deal with it, my own brother included. He’s digging out from 2 1/2 ft last weekend and expecting a foot more, says the drifts are up to some roofs in his neighborhood (between DC & Baltimore).
Will the “Climate Service” have special uniforms ?
If he’s never considered it, he may want to look at shoveling his roof off. We used to have to do it a couple times a years where we used to live in the lake effect snow belt, and we weren’t the only ones. On the days that were nice enough to do do that, I could look around and see two or three other people on their roofs doing the same thing.
Nor’easter snow is particularly wet and heavy and any significant amount of snow can collapse a roof pretty easily. It happened in our old town on occasion, and people knew better. There was one town I heard of where the DPW roof collapsed from the snow load, and THEY ought to have known better if anyone did.
You’ll be hearing reports of this happening if this keeps up much more.
Yeah, I had to shovel all that Global Warming (TM) off my deck yesterday, so that it wouldn’t collapse. But I’ll be glad to do it again and again, if only repeated snow-latherings would drive these nuts down south into the arms of their ideological brethren and sisteren in places like Austin, TX (but hopefully not anywhere else in TX).
