When those of us in northern Michigan get 2 feet of snow we still go to work and conduct daily business...oh, and it doesn’t make national news either.
So to the eastern seaboard I say “waaa”.
Two feet of lake effect snow is fluffy, it's low in water content and its not as big a deal. That's the kind of snow you mostly get in N. Michigan similar to where I grew up east of Lake Ontario.
Anyway last night's blizzard dropped a heavier in water content snow with 40 to 70 mph winds accross a heavily populated area. One heavy band set up in eastern New Jersey into Brooklyn and Staten Island that dropped from 25 to 32 inches of snow.
If you don't like this making national news, then don't read the posted article.
