I present for your snowpocalyptic viewing pleasure, the current storm warning for New Jersey, while I think some big snow is headed our way, I also think the statement "travel could be very difficult to impossible" is a bit hyperbolic-- some methods of travel might be impossible-- such as commuting to Manhattan in a Mini Cooper-- but plenty of travel WILL be possible . . . if you own snowshoes or cross-country skis or a snowmobile or a dog sled (or a good pair of boots and a heavy jacket).
This is why they make snow tires and all-wheel-drive.
ReplyDeleteAbout 20 years ago I was living in a grimy Boston suburb and we got about 30 inches of snow overnight. I shoveled throughout the night so all I had to do was dig my car out in the morning. I got to work by 10 am and my department head said "Why are you late?" He parked his Land Rover Defender in a garage so he didn't even have to clean anything off, he just opened the door and went up and over all the dreck clogging his driveway.
wow. i hope he was being facetious.
