We are not getting passed over this time. My parents house and NYC just fall into the 12+ inches range. We will join already clobbered DC and Philadelphia in February's Flurry Frenzy.
I like to think NYC knows how to handle snow a little better than some other cities. DC has 146 heavy duty snow plows, and I believe NYC has almost double that. But apparently we've gotten a little more cautious in recent years. NYC Public School kids already found out they have the day off tomorrow. Damn you Mayor Bloomberg for denying that uncertain "Will I get a snow day feeling" to children. I remember carefully listening to the WRCR on snowy mornings with my Mom to see if "Clarkstown Central School District" was closed or delayed. I'd cross my fingers, put a spoon under my pillow and wear my pajamas inside out and backwards to get that snow day.
Sadly, I can't listen to the radio to hear if "Medialink" is closed for snow. Doesn't work like that anymore. :(
actually, dc only has 3/4 of that # of plows:
