Back to the here and now, last year the NWS got funding to build a new supercomputer and are in process of putting it online.

IBM's in New York. Maybe he can order IBM to make a bigger and better supercomputer for the NYWS.

SEND OUT THE PLOWS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
{By Rep. Chris Collins’ cousin- Judy}

Ain’t it a b!tch? Does anyone care?
Five feet of snow on the ground… more in the air.
Where are the plows?

We’re getting blitzed... tons to remove
Car wheels spinning around – nothing can move
Where are the plows? There ought to be plows.

Just when I could open the doors
Finally thinking the plow I expected was yours
Clearing the roads again with the usual flair
Sure as sh!t, though – no one is there.

Don’t you love pols? Our fault, I fear
We thought that they want what we want… sorry, my dear
But where are the plows? Send out the plows!
Don’t bother – {your contractor’s} here.

(EPILOGUE)
Sonuvabich... why’m I still here?
Losing my mind & my hair no more career.
But where are the plows? There ought to be plows!
Well, maybe .... next year.

So forcast the snow to the exact inch and hour; so what. What are your going to do about it? Snow falls like crazy in that area, always has and so long as lake Erie is there, it always will. It did this in same thing in winter of 1964-65. Passenger trains were stopped in their tracks.

“Maybe he has it on good authority that Bathhouse Barry is planning on writing an executive order.”

Given that the Emperor Jones acts as if he has the divine rights of kings, as well as the temporal and divine power that goes with them, it should surprise no one when he issues an Imperial edict commanding the winds to cease blowing.

Back in the old Daze, the plows were just out 24/7 with constructions firms contracted to use road graders and front end loaders as required.

It's been snowing and blowing every Winter in W. NYS for quite a while.

There were also rotary blowers that could be deployed from the yards as needed. The NYS Thruway ran convoys behind plow teams to keep traffic moving.

IBM is not in New York anymore, they are in China and India. Besides they don’t make anything anymore, they sold almost all of their hardware business to Lenovo.

Now Prince Andrew of Albany can employ his own weathermen who will tell him anything he wants to hear: “Global warming causes 6 feet of snow?” Sure thing sire! “Guns cause snow storms but Democrats can outlaw guns so there is no problem!” anything else sire?
