Comments on: How bad is the snow in the northeast this year? https://thenewneo.com/2015/02/14/how-bad-is-the-snow-in-the-northeast-this-year/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:14:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Clarityseeker https://thenewneo.com/2015/02/14/how-bad-is-the-snow-in-the-northeast-this-year/#comment-873878 Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:14:09 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=46600#comment-873878 Things have gotten so bad that Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was forced to deliver some real talk to the citizenry – specifically warning the knuckleheads who have been jumping out of their windows and into the snow to cut it out.

What he said:

“I’m asking people to stop their nonsense right now. These are adults jumping out windows,” Walsh said on Monday, according to the Boston Herald. “It’s a foolish thing to do and you could kill yourself.”

What he meant:

DON’T BE IDIOTS, PEOPLE.

To understand why this is even a thing, we turn to Walsh once again. Boston, he noted, has been buried under 96 inches of snow (and counting) so far this winter. The city is just a few inches away from the all-time record – a record that literally no one wants.

If the clip is any indication of the rest of the movie, I never will.

I got a rabbit-fur bomber hat and tugged it on tonight to go out grocery shopping (5 degrees, wind chill of 20 below zero). My head stayed warm and toasty. And since it was dry (salt won’t melt ice this cold), I pulled on my fancy new Ugg boots, and they kept my feet warm.

Now if I could just fit into Mother’s old mink coat, I’d be impervious. 😉 But I have to make do with a down coat, and in the high, frigid winds of this evening, it’s not warm. Wind goes through down, but not fur.

Amusing pictures of the North East:
g6loq, I doubt that those in New England who have endured 6 feet of snow in a month find the pictures amusing…

I grew up in CT but have lived in CA since 1970.

Washable, reliable, tough.

I sold it at a garage sale last Fall before moving south.
