We got snow like that 2 years ago.





I don't like it.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Some roads in the big city are still impassable. Bridgeport is now blaming it on all the idiots that ignored the parking ban. I guess I can't argue with them.

I didn't realize weather prediction models were so advanced
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

That's just one of many models the forecasters use, but NOAA software is what I'm familiar with from my earlier days.

So, when there is a parking ban in a city, where do people put their cars?

idiots that ignored the parking ban

They park where they want like they always have. There's a cop down the street - last winter his patrol car (it's always parked in the street, even when it's snowy and streets need to be clear of vehicles for the plows) practically got buried by snow from the plows. I really wanted him to be ticketed, but buried in snow was a close second.  =D
