Mayor Don’tShovel Commie is the world’s best Meteorologist. Just ask him.

That tin horn DiBlasio LOVES playing God with peoples’ lives

I thought this was a story about nose candy, never mind.....

[Responsibility2nd]

I would laugh at the fools in NYC, but cities in the south do the same thing.

Overreact.

Forecasters call for a chance of freezing drizzle and lows in the upper 20’s?

Schools and businesses start shutting down.

But, Absurdly, The Entire City Is Shut Down
From what I saw on TV and read in the NY papers, the city was "re-opened" at 9am.

India can’t promise this because they would feel compelled to actually do the things they agree to do. China doesn’t have that problem.

Long Island had accumulations of 20+ inches hours ago, however. Forecasting snow isn’t easy.

[C19fan]

I was listening to Glen Beck on the way to work talking about how 6 inches of snow shot down NYC. They pointed out after the beating Bush took for Katrina politicians have become very skittish about something like that happening to them. So to C.Y.A. they will know now shut things down even if 9 out of 10 times looking back it was not justified.

"We" may not be able to predict two days in advance very well, but "our" gubmint-supported "climatologists" have got "our" (Congress- and SCOTUS-endorsed) predictions for several decades to centuries ahead down exactly, and to a science!!!   /sarc

Mark this down as a dress rehearsal for the “coming future time”, when cities get locked down to search for “enemies of the State”...

[Jewbacca]

Snowmeggedon was as real as anthropomorphic global warming.

[alloysteel]

Not the snow storm, but the EXPECTATION of a snowstorm, is what shut the city down. There may be another source of foreboding and ennui - the virtual absence of any good economic news. Not a crash, but a STEEP dive.

Details later. Stay tuned.

[V_TWIN]

Never waste a good crisis, even if it’s not one I guess.

Free DAYS OFF - A Commies dream!

[ntnychik]

A politician is OVER if his response to a weather event is inadequate.
NYers won’t blame DiWhat’shisname for an overreaction, because he seemed to CARE.

[kaila]

I don’t think this was a nanny state reaction. Basically, martial law was declared.Since when do politicians have the right to interfere with freedom of movement? The city was in lockdown.

[exit82]

This reminds me of when they shutdown Boston, when the Marathon bomber was in Watertown 10 miles away.

Dry run.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’m predicting a HUGE number of babies born in NYC nine months from now...

...fathered by two or three guys who defied DeBlasio and shoveled their way in. *SNORT*

[alancarp]

They dodged the big snowfall by about 30 miles.

[FatherofFive]

Computer models cannot forecast the weather 12 hours in advance, but we are to believe their models that make predictions 50 and 100 years from now.

It is insanity on the left.
