Another day in the Sub-Zero

I was whining about the cold weather last night to an former  air force brat who set me straight.  His family was stationed in Minot, North Dakota during the 70s and 14 below would have seemed like a walk in the park.  However, it is what you get used to that counts, and although the NCR is sometimes known as the Frozen North, we have not had weather like this in at least 6 or 7 years.  So I'll keep whining until I get used to it.  Under a snow and cold weather emergency, New York closed the main road heading South last night and of course hundreds of trucks were stopped from delivering their cargoes.  With NYC and much of New England covered in new snow, the deliveries will be backed up for days and future orders will be uncertain until the roads are cleared and customers can reach stores.  Meanwhile, the NFL is getting a preview of what might happen in New Jersey on Super Bowl Sunday, and it isn't pretty.
