Crazy.  I think back to the November 2000 and December 2001 events and I don’t think at any stage they did anything like that.  It definitely shows we’ve softened up somewhat as the older people always tell us young ones  

This reminds me of when I still lived in NJ and Christie closed the roads for a storm and I was quite surprised. But back then I thought of all the businesses who want to stay open no matter what and insist employees come in and/or don't go home when they should and I realized what a smart and necessary decision it was.

Now I am sorry to say we have to add in people who don't seem to know what common sense is in a big snowstorm, which I would say is greater than it used to be. Again, I have to say this is right and necessary decision. 

When roads are closed, that's it.
