Why don’t you stop and think here for a moment. WHERE do they put all that snow? There’s nowhere to plow it to with nothing but streets with buildings on either side especially in Manhattan. They have to truck the snow out. It will make most places in NYC impassable. Ever been there?
Actually, I’ve never known NYers to get upset about blizzards. We live in an area prone to snow storms every year. Now, if you really want to see panic, try London with an inch or two of snow. Or Los Angeles when it rains.
