Good grief. Politicians on the east coast act like no one there has ever seen snow before. And, of course, 24 inches sounds so much worse than 2 feet. Such drama. It’s winter and in the winter sometimes it snows, in spite of all the hubbub about global warming.

People in places like Colorado, North Dakota and Wyoming have to be laughing their dupas off.

It was not "Martial law" it was a travel ban as in "temporarily keep your damn cars off the roads until the blizzard is over and the streets have been plowed". Perfectly normal and acceptable under the circumstances. FWIW, it was lifted this morning.

Most of the boros and townships here in central PA did the exact same thing (enacted travel bans) from yesterday afternoon until it was lifted this morning.

The plow trucks have enough of a difficult time but even more so when they have to deal with stupid motorists who get stuck in the middle of the road because they don't have good winter driving skills or are not driving big 4x4's and even some of them who because they have a 4x4, think they are invincible and end up getting hopelessly stuck. Not to mention that it impedes emergency vehicles from getting through

Completely different situation in sparsely populated areas from what we in densely populated urban areas have to deal with.
