We get 2" a few days a week. That's not the issue. This is expected to be one of the top 5 storms in the recorded history of Boston. That's not news?

New Yorkers are freaking out. Public transit is going to be really difficult. Glad I have the next two days off.

They've cancelled all public schools in Boston. I'm not looking forwarded to the commute home tomorrow. Maybe I'll go skiing for the weekend.

Is it really that big a deal? My wife lived one year just south of Syracuse, and got 190 inches of snow that winter, including one storm of 32 inches that I had the personal pleasure of shoveling through. It seems like par for the course up there.

Now the news coverage is another thing . . .

Syracuse does not equal New York or Boston. Buffalo gets like 50ft of snow each week, it's not the same. One of the major issues for a city like Boston is where to put the snow. There's not enough room in the city to plow it to the sides of the roads, everything has to be collected and driven out past the suburbs and dumped on snow farms.

Storms, like guns, don't kill people.

All that is needed for an evil storm to triumph would be a few good weathermen to do nothing.
