Looks like NYC and Boston are in for a bit of shoveling this weekend. I'm sure glad that I stocked up on beer!

Yes. The news crapsters are doing a great job of inciting panic. The super markets and gas stations have lines (its mostly due to the transplanted cityiots in my neck o' the woods). My response to the whole affair?

Now you know the joy of hurricane hysteria that we experience every year.

 

The media pounces on even Cat 1 storms like it's going to be Twister in everyone's yard, sending reporters to stores talking about lines BEFORE they've formed (ensuring they will form), filming all-new stories that are just remakes of the ones we've seen 10,000 times before about securing your windows and crap...

Yes, because Nemo certainly evokes images of icy weather, certainly not, I don't know, the sea?
