Here are some suggestions:

Three important points:
So, what should you do if you live in this region?
  • Do not travel in this storm by any mode. The chance of getting stuck are high.
  • Make sure you have an adequate supply of medicines.

  1. Quick Mike, what's the over/under for the first article that blames this storm on "global warming" or "climate change"? Today? Tuesday? Already happened?

    I'm surprised travel waivers haven't been issued for later in the week. I've read that UA is effectively shutting down operations in NYC and further north tomorrow. It will take a while to correct the logistics, especially for the RJs.

    One last thing - heavy snow does not require a "blizzard" and a blizzard does NOT require heavy snow. All about the sustained winds. I personally think bizzards on the plains are a lot worse. Just that the NE US has a lot more people.

  2. Brian: Already happened.

    Yes, the waivers need to be more extensive. And, you are correct about the official blizzard definition.
