Northeast Snow Batters Eastern US

I saw this on the news last night. Serious sh*t!!!

News showed a train running and I felt a sudden surge of respect for American determination.

Two leaves fall on the track in Essex (catches us by surprise every Autumn) and our whole train system is thrown into chaos.
 
I was lucky. Got just enough to make me happy and not be burdensome.
 
I saw the images and it looks really bad over there. People must have to make sure they have food and first aid stuff in their home if they get snowed in.
 
Massachusetts got hit hard. :(

Our guys do a good job with clearing the roads. Sometimes I think people are unrealistic with their expectations, though. If it's snowing 1-2 inches per hour for hours on end, it's going to take awhile to get all roads cleared. And afterward, the main roads are going to get done first before secondary roads.
