The past digit days impact been a bit of a whirlwind, what with the large amount of deceive that was dumped on us yesterday (AKA blizzageddon, or the Great Boxing Day Blizzard of 2010). So we intellection we'd take a time to grownup our breath, look at some pretty pictures and review what's been feat on.
The assail first impact our radiolocation on Christmas and by the move of Boxing Day we were officially on notice. As the snow started to fall on Boxing Day we looked in on snow period activities, listened discover for thundersnow, spotted some underground snow and kept watching the radar.
Today, erst the deceive was done falling, we wondered who was going to stake outside meet as we institute discover most folks for whom that wasn't even a concern: they'd been cragfast on the underground every night!
Not surprisingly we spent a lot of time concerned with installation (or demand thereof) durring a blizzageddon. Airports being closed didn't rattling surprise us, but the MTA insipid discover telling us to stay home upraised an eyebrow. Of instruction with so such deceive in the stations, who crapper blessed them? Meanwhile Bloomberg and the municipality tried desperately to spend face amidst a actual disaster of crisis planning.
Speaking of transportation... We saw some examples today of ground you did not poverty to be on the road. Everything from plows closed by another plows to exploded taxis, dozens of buses closed by another buses to exploded buses. So such stuff cragfast in the snow! Not to name snow biking!
And there was fun too. We tried to watch live streams of snowball fights (anybody intend that to work?), looked at cute animals in the snow and laughed at the period polar assume swim as well as at our topical weathercasters. And some folks waited on line for burgers in the snow ("It was snowerrific." a commenter reported). All of which makes us poverty to intercommunicate a "the deceive is likewise damn high!" party...
But every things must become to an modify and with the defy hunting to hearty up, such of the deceive should be absent by the weekend. Which is most when we expect to wager plows attain it to our block. Where is Mr. Plow when you need him?
