So the storm was pretty much a bust in NYC. Looks like about 6" on average, what a dud. You'd have thought it was the snowpocalypse the way the media was hyping it up and politicians were grandstanding and closing highways like dictators
It fuels the economy. Look much businesses did well....hardware stores, supermarkets, gas stations, etc...

I went to work today, it wasn't that bad. I took the train. Some people came in, not everyone...but they all have to either take it as a personal day or make it up, and I got to play on CD all day long.
Tell me who the smart one is. I didn't think it was that cold out either. Nothing we haven't experienced before, I mean it is January.
I'm leaving at 4 today.
I went to work today too....honestly the ride in sucked...I waited almost a half hour for the A train to come and it took me almost 2 hours to get to Chambers Street but now it's not bad outside at all. And I don't burn any of my days, and I'm playing all day on C-D too. lol

Certain persons are going to milk this thing for all it is worth.
Compared to some other major snowstorms like the December 26th one several years ago this was nothing. That storm dumped major amounts of snow on the Tri-State area and was far more to worry about than what we just had.
I swear don't know how certain persons manage to get on if every time there is imperfect weather they start running around as if Germany just invaded Poland.
I jump to turn the channel every time Lonnie Quinn (the weatherman at CBS News) comes on. All the weathermen hype things up but he's particularly the worst. I don't pay him any mind at all. I prefer the weather guy at NY1 News. He's calm and doesn't exaggerate or hype things up as much. If anything he downplays it.

All news *shows* (for that is what they are today) do the same thing; milk one "event" or disaster for all it's worth until something else comes along to replace. IMHO one of the worse things about having so many television channels and options today is that they all have to find something to fill air time. IMHO maybe we have too many television reporters looking around for stories to cover.
Lonnie Quinn isn't so bad. Nice upstanding family man, easy on the eyes, we've seen him playing ball with his boys in Central Park. Mike Woods is interesting as well. Anyone is better IMHO than "Mister G". How long has that man been doing the news? I swear it seems like he, Ernie Anastos and Chuck Scarborough have been around since one was in school.

They have cried wolf so many times that we take the dire forecasts with a grain of salt (or a hundred thousand pounds of salt on the roads.)
This one seems much the same.
It's horribly cold, but that's about it...not much snow.
Again I don't think the main issue was the amount of snow as already said it wasn't that significant. The main issue was and is the below normal temperatures.
Poor Tex, never knew why he "vanished" or understood until years later when he passed on and read obituary. By that time one was older and reaction was "oh no he didn't say that"! *LOL*
