The sensationalism that the media uses to report anything is always nauseating. As if the lead up wasn't bad enough, the local channels had wall to wall coverage until 1pm yesterday to tell everyone what they knew by looking outside: "It wasn't as bad as predicted".
Media bullshit aside, I didn't mind most of the proactive measures taken although I think it was a mistake to shutdown the subways.

They're still doing it today. I watched CNN this am where they were in Boston reporting on the devastation of "Blizzard of 2015."
There was a leaning power line and a 25 ft break in the seawall. Two houses got some flooding.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I remember in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy that he brought Samantha Bee out to do a parody of Mayor Bloomberg's signer. It was the funniest thing and, of course, the National Association for the Deaf sent a letter protesting. Fuckers are as bad as muslims it seems.
