too far south to hit us. we have gotten a couple<br />inches of snow total this winter. of course, we<br />are prepared for these storms a little better<br />than NYC I think. gotta be a huge mess down there.<br />can just see snowmobiles running through times<br />square

Actually mellow, <br /><br />here in NYC, all the roads are cleared and passible.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, they are even dry already.<br /><br />Gridlock this morning seems to be minimal.<br /><br />But, where I live on Long Island, it is pretty bad.<br /><br />Plus, the city only got around 14"-15", where the Island got 18"-20".<br /><br />The biggest problem on LI, is the wind!<br /><br />It still looked like it was snowing out this morning, but the sun was out.<br /><br />Blowing and drifting snow are clogging the major arteries, and the rush hour on the LIE (I-495)must have been a nightmare.<br /><br />This is one time, and one time only, that I am actually glad that I ride the LIRR to Manhattan.<br /><br />I hate the LIRR!!

must be quite a site to see the train with the<br />plow attatched plowing right through the snow!

Re: Inaccurate weather guessing

They don't put plows on the trains here, mellow.<br /><br />All trains have a small plow in front of the main trucks of the train, but they are small and permantly attached.<br /><br />They really don't do much good, but then they really don't need plows on the trains, because they use jets to clear the rails.<br /><br />They have large jet aircraft engines mounted on flatbed cars, and they literally blow the snow off of the tracks, thus eliminating the need for plows.
