The "Snowstorm"
« on: March 02, 2009, 05:34:13 PM »
I love that downstate NY and jersey (note: not Jersey) got 4 inches of snow and its like global news?

Other areas will get hit 10x worse from the same storm and its like oh well.

I agree, seems pretty stupid when the headline on the NY times website is a "snowstorm" that in all actuality seemed pretty wimpy.

Well I mean... I can understand it in the carolinas (I lived there for a year and a half prior to coming here) There it makes perfect sense... they just don't have the infrastructure setup. Although it is quite hilarious.

But the thing that really gets me is that our state... well my state I guess (NY) is COMPLETELY bankrupt. For any MAJOR city it costs roughly 1 million dollars per inch of snow to properly handle it with regards to salting, plowing and associative damage. I can understand articles being about this... but heaven forbid the New York Times... I mean... a news agency that (for whatever reason) is regarded as an industry LEADER and their front page article discusses how 6inches of snow has shut down schools and given people a day off.

Its not just them... its everyone. I don't even know why this makes me so mad.

Im just really mad right now?

Haven't they had worse storms this year and not made such a big deal about it?

Weird.
