My daughter got two ½ days off of school. I left early on Monday and stayed home Tuesday.
We got about 8 inches total. I woke up to 6 and then it snowed 2 more on Tuesday. It was a snowstorm but nothing like “Storm of the Century” like they predicted. In my area they predicted 24 to 36 which is astronomical and would have been a storm of the century. It was a light powdery snow, very blustery and drifting all over. Easy to shovel, which is good.
Al Roker was on yesterday saying they got it wrong and nobody likes to be wrong, and that the head of the Weather Service admits they got it wrong too, and that they need to find a better way to predict next time.
People I work with made it in, but many were late. Major roads were closed till morning. Public transportation was suspended for the day (bus, subway, trains).
Long Island and Boston got it bad, from what I hear.
I live in southern NY, about an hour to an hour and a half south of Gail, about an hour north of the city.
