President Obama hit the links and enjoyed high temps in Hawaii as a massive blizzard bore down on much of the Midwest and the Northeast, and meteorologists predict the storm could tie traffic, cut power and give headaches to 40 million or so Americans.

Do we really want Obozo involved in this?
Yeah. Sure "they" are.
E-Z-GO
the official golf cart of the Caliph of the United States?
You will NOT be seeing any “pool photos” of him on this trip, guaranteed.
It’s not that he is on vacation - it’s that we are on vacation from him!
Snowzilla? Oh please.
Every stupid storm is now some gigantic catastrophe per all media. Even worse Weather Channel is naming snowstorms like hurricanes and some other outlets are starting to accept that.
Let Bammy poop a few more golf balls. Maybe he could TeaBag them.
I think that's the result of their being purchased by NBC to use as a propaganda tool. And it works! I've seen poorly educated youts post on the internet "they had to start naming these storms because they are so much stronger than before climate change".
I noticed that too. Also, the Weather Channel is starting to become more like a TV show. There’s reality shows of weather. They are entertainizing the weather.
I'm in Chelmsford, MA tonight and it's one degree and snowing. No big deal. It what normally happens around here in January. We might get 10 inches but it's so light I can push it off my driveway with a broom. I got the fireplace going and it's toasty warm here. I have a generator gassed up and ready to fire up just in case the lights go out.
I've lived in New England almost 50 years and never once has a storm kept me indoors for more than a couple days. All these morons watching the "special reports" on the TV, getting all alarmed and making panicked runs to the supermarket for milk and bread. I have enough food in my house to last at least a month and that's always been the case. Like I said, no storm, not even the blizzard of 1978, kept me snowbound more than a couple days. As for the current one, I'll be out and about in the morning.
Why we won’t publish photos issued by the White House
By Sandra Duerr

As journalists, we strive to offer independent coverage — whether it’s breaking news, investigative stories, and individual or business profiles, for example. That includes photos.
Yet the White House has imposed what news organizations, including The Tribune, believe are unprecedented limitations on photojournalists covering President Barack Obama.
Instead of allowing journalists to cover some public events, it’s banning them — then releasing its own photos and videos, using social media to help spread the word.
“Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the president while he is performing his official duties,” according to the recent letter sent by 38 news organizations to the White House, the Associated Press reported. “As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist’s camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the executive branch of government.”
Amen,the press makes a big deal of nothing 24/7 because they have no news but a little snowfall in an area of the country that normally has it.The blizzard of 78 never stopped me in the least either even with the national guard all over the roads.
I’m more southern but we have some snow like this all the time. Worst is how people go to stores as you said. I don’t get it. Lived through several actual blizzards here, none has ever made us pack in for more than a couple days. All of us have plenty provisions for that. Even the great winter of ‘09-’10 - record single fall of 33” in 1 day and so on - and great icy winter of ‘93-’94 did not keep us down for long.
“We might get 10 inches but it’s so light I can push it off my driveway with a broom.”
You have a heck of a broom! I would need my Ariens snowblower for 10 inches!
Sun, Mon and Tues are going to be cold here in s.e. Wisconsin. Right now the forecast says that Monday’s high will be -10 F.
When the temperature is cold like it is (near zero), the snow has the consistency of cotton candy. When I got off work today, I could just about blow the snow off my car.
Cold here in Iowa. 21 below by Sunday night in northern Iowa. Where are you Al Gore?
