It really is a joke and more than 50% of the time, a "huge" storm ends up to be nothing here, in Buffalo. After nearly 16 years here (30 years on the Jersey Shore), I have not once lost electricity due to a winter storm. The ice storm of several years ago was an exception but even then, stores were open, no worries. Many years ago (2000?) we experienced a dump of 5' (yes, feet) in two hours. No loss of anything and I still made it to school and back home that day. Naming these storms is ridiculous and the hype is even worse. People here in Buffalo laugh at this stuff and it's business as usual. I've never gotten stuck in the snow and no, I don't have 4 wheel drive.
