    The Hype around snowstorms are so laughable now.  A general 10-18  / 12-20 type storm would be considered “A pretty big snowstorm” when I was a kid.  Now the news and especially National News is “A Dangerous Life-Threatening Storm”.  
     

    Hide the Kids!  Put them in bubble wrap, for God’s Sake Save the Children!  Buy Groceries because the stores will Never Operate again!  
     

    What happened to people.  Find your damn ballsacks from pre-1960 and reattach.  (Not you guys)    


    Very little happened to people but what happened was instead of 3 TV stations clamoring for attention there are now hundreds plus the net.  TV wants you to tune in and thus hypes this stuff like crazy.  People now also share Kuchera clown maps on Facebook and that is how news is spread to many without explanation.  People are the same, media is different.  If anything snowstorms have less of an impact than they used to because up until the 1/96 storm, AWD and 4WD with the exception whereas now most everyone has an SUV or Crossover with AWD or at least knows someone with one.  In the 96 storm, NJ hospitals asked for volunteers with AWD to help patients get to treatment.  That would likely not happen today.

    So boxing day.... Hey all thanks for the thoughts. I am in Hartford Hospital with blood clots in both lungs. Man talk about pain. I think I am over the hump as they are transferring me out of ICU today to a step down room.

     

    My call without much involvement is 14 to 20 in the jack zones in NW NE Ct. 8 to 14 rest of CT . Stay safe kids

    Get better, here's hoping for a speedy recovery!

  4. 12 Z GFS with the annual Grinch storm falling on Festivus this year.  It is hour 384 but in our hearts we know it will happen as it does almost every year. (Yes I know it gives me snow as shown)  We could have started the thread for this back in June had we wanted.
