I'm in NYC and we got a some snow yesterday. Nothing major, mind you, just some larger than usual flakes accompanied by a bit of wind for a brief period. It was all over by mid-morning. When all was said and done we got about 5 inches of the stuff which turned to mush when the temperature climbed. So why were some banks completely closed due to "inclement weather"? Oh, and the Post Office did not deliver mail, which means they had double duty today, which means nobody got their mail before 4 PM (an abomination, really, especially for businesses). I was walking around in that weather in slacks and dress shoes, got to work, had my cup of coffee and waited for people to show up. And waited. And waited. Almost nobody showed up. My colleague, who lives 3 subway stops away, didn't show up. Tell me, are all these people from Florida or something? Have they never seen snow before? Everybody acts like it's the end of the world and the media isn't helping with their doomsday predictions (forecasts which NEVER pan out as they breathlessly claim). This never used to happen 20 years ago, meaning people didn't act like scared rabbits every time the weather guy said it was going to snow. I'm especially disappointed in the USPS. Sheesh
