“Watch out where the Huskies go and don’t you eat that yellow snow’’. You should thank the late Frank Zappa.
New York State’s problem is primarily NYC. The Upstate cities tend to be liberal, but not as bad as NYC.
That’s what’s ruining the state. Go out in the country and it’s CONSERVATIVE.
The way to survive a snowstorm is to do just what we did in north Alabama when we got a 2 ft snowfall a few years back. Sit at home and sip cocoa till it melts.
That might work in Alabama, but for us it could be April before it melts.
Best part was the caller who shared his war story of being holed up at a hotel with the only female companion he could find: A Feminazi environmentalist from California.
Unfortunately NYC pollutes the entire state with PC nonsense. NYC is run by Fascists like Bloomberg and Cuomo.
How is this reversed? Constitutional Challenge? In another time the Supreme Court would rule in favor of the wording of the Constitution. Now we have Justices who think the Constitution is a poor code for the Fed Government.
Will freedom Prevail. We Shall see.
Three quarters of the workforce will be up in trees on that day including the females.
“This storm was much worse than what hit the northeast yesterday.”
It depends where you are, or were at the time.
The March 1993 storm dumped 3 feet of wet snow in some states, but after being hyped in Maine, including having Gov. Angus King (now Maine’s new senator) call out the National Guard, it dumped only 6 inches of snow on my driveway.
The blizzard last night and through most of Saturday dumped 12 inches to 36 inches of snow over the State of Maine. In Portland, ME, the Friday/Saturday blizzard was the worst snowstorm in that city’s history.
I currently have 4 - 5 foot snow drifts up against the back of my house. I envy the Floridians on this board.
That Superstorm was much more massive; it hit a much larger portion of the country. Syracuse got pounded from that one because it got about 43 inches from the storm and then the next day, lake effect.
What I challenge as far as the media is concerned, is that it’s the worst storm ever because with the Superstorm there were heavy snowfalls as far south as Alabama and Georgia.
I fully recognize area to area variations. We’re quite familiar with it here in lake effect snow country where you can go from clear blue sky with brilliant sunshine, to whiteout within a quarter of a mile.
I am not bitter at all. Angry, yes. At any attempt to subject my neighbors and I to tyranny.
“993 Storm of the Century aka March Superstorm of 1993

I remember that one: After it was over and the roads got cleared enough we could start getting around I was struck by something I had never seen before or since:
On 104 (Which runs near Lake Ontario) just east of Rochester NY I saw several snowplow trucks (The big ones made out of dump trucks with salt spreaders on the back) stuck here and there... some were nearly on their side and some were buried nearly up to the roof. It was a few days before they were able to recover them. They were attempting to plow the highway during the storm and were overwhelmed. The ones I saw were off in the median. I presume they had recovered the ones stuck in the road as part of reopening it.
I could hardly stop laughing!!! Hilarious.
I’m familiar with 104.
Rumor has it that up in the Watertown area, when the lake effect is bad enough that the plows go off the road and get stuck, they get out the tanks from Fort Drumm and pull them out.
Yeah it was 3 weeks for us.
