“Remember last year when the forecasters said nyc was going to get a lot of snow and deblasio closed all the streets and then nothing happened”
I dont remeber that at all. I rember when less than predicted fell but 6 -to 12 inches of snow cant be called “nothing happned”
Parts of long island had over 26 inches. (I assume you are reffering to Juno)
Granted this that wasnt “something we have never seen” which is how it was described leading into it but it wasnt “nothing” And as experience has shown better safe than sorry. Especially when you consider previous snowstorms that we had been ill prepared for as Rebyid pointed out.
