Hardly, but at least it looks like winter now. For the first time in my two years in the GTA we had a significant snowfall. I haven't seen any casualty reports yet but it looks like most of the metropolis survived. So I'll chalk this one up to another naked attempt to encourage the fear society that serves our neighbours to the south so well. But seriously c'mon kids, is it really fair to call a snowfall that barely lives up to the myth of Canada as the edge of an arctic wasteland Snowmageddon? Whoever came up with that label (and everyone who perpetuated it) needs to be fired for incompetence.
At least the Ice Storm was inconvenient. Snowmageddon couldn't even take down my cheap blue tarp tied up with even cheaper nylon rope. Or maybe I am the knot god superstar?

In all fairness to the lilliputians, I think it was the actual size of the storm (covering several states) rather than the accumulated snowfall. In all honesty though, the 20-30cms that New York saw really is a severe problem for them. They gots no where to put it all.

My thoughts on the snowstorm being overblown is that it is about individuals preparing themselves and we shouldn't have to claim the sky is falling to convince them to do that. That's what is sad.
