And we are to believe the so called climatologists that make 100 year weather predictions and cannot even make a competent weather forecast only 12 hours away.

Bill de Blasio on Blizzard Bust: ‘Better Safe Than Sorry’
By Jillian Jorgensen | 01/27/15 8:29am
After a much-hyped blizzard-that-wasn’t, Mayor Bill de Blasio said this morning that he was glad the city had prepared for a worse storm and that New York would be getting back to normal quickly.
“We thought we were going to get something much bigger,” Mr. de Blasio told CNN “New Day” anchor Chris Cuomo (who happens to be the brother of Gov. Andrew Cuomo).
Forecasts of two or even three feet of snow led Mr. de Blasio and Mr. Cuomo to essentially shut the city down. Mr. de Blasio rolled out a driving ban, lifted at 7:30 a.m., closed city schools and shut the Staten Island Ferry. Mr. Cuomo stopped all MTA service—an unprecedented move for a snow storm—and also banned travel on state roads.

of course a year ago when a dangerous blizzard hit NYC il duetche did not close the schools:

I’m still trying to figure out what the point was in shutting down the subways.
He completely altered the lives of millions of people and that's his response?
Shouldn't he be incensed that the "meteorolgists" got it so wrong???
I read somewhere that 40% of the subway lines are above ground.
That's the story of our society today. The media whips up hysteria about the weather or some other "threat" and then the government acts and if it turns out that the action was overblow, we get "better safe than sorry."

This from the person who expects the police to be right 100% of the time.
And as a New Yorker pointed out to me that the snow falls through the tracks and to the ground below.
A lot of the subway system, outside of Manhattan, is above ground and some of it is elevated. Including those parts where trains are ‘turned around’. I think it was more of a logistical issue wrt to train car/engine turnaround than one with underground snow. Kind of like a big storm in one part of the country can affect air travel in other parts, simply because the use of certain hubs to move planes from here to there isn’t feasible during a storm.
The man is cursed by stupidity! He can’t get anything right.
It still freezes on those tracks. And a lot of the outer borough tracks are regular ‘train’ tracks on the ground.
No kidding. Last time I checked, subways were underground, which is the very definition of a subway, and it don’t snow down there.
my exact thoughts to my husband an hour ago. computer models are predicting future global warming. remember that.
You nailed it. They lie.
Could be, I certainly am no authority. I try to stay away from areas with more than 25 people/sq. mile.
The media whips up hysteria about the weather or some other “threat”
**************
All the better to push for more expansive government involvement in our lives. Only it can save us so therefore governments must expand their control over us with every passing “threat”. /sarc
The media and the government are joined at the hip in their mutually beneficial fear mongering.
Yes, shouldn't he at least warn his son about NWS meteorologists.
Read post 9 .... just saying.
Trains keep moving at ground level everywhere else. In the little town north of me I sat and watched an Amtrak train come busting through 6 foot drifts as if they weren’t there.
LOL! The fewer the better. :)
