The problem with snow in NYC is that they have no where to put it. They just can't plow the snow to the sides of the street like everywhere else in the USA. They have to completely remove it.
Kind of shuts them down while they do that.
They
could, I suppose, drive it down to the wharves and dump the stuff into the water.
And, that storm in the central US
did get a name from The Weather Channel--GOBUCKS had mentioned in a past thread that the storm out there is named 'Orko.' In another thread (?), Dori (IIRC) mentions that some guy on FNC was saying something about 3 or 4 nor'easters in February this year, because of the weather patterns being the same as they were in the 50s. That sounds like something that Joe Bastardi, of WeatherBell.com, would say. (Thing is, he's right.) Rick Reichmuth on FNC was saying something to the effect of another possible nor'easter developing for the Thursday/Friday time frame, and another nor'easter possibly developing a week from tomorrow (Sunday).
So, hopefully the brain-damaged primitive will have some sort of catastrophic occurrence in those next two storms.
