My fellow Americans. Why is everyone freaking out about the storm. Even Boston is acting like it’s the apocalypse, people panic emptied shelves. The weather alerts are coming in steady, the mayor gave a press briefing. It’s 10 inches of snow.

In my 2 Boston winters, this being the second, this seems very normal for Boston.

To be fair, we in Canada got the edge of it and it delivered more snow than I’ve seen in one dropping in about 25 years…like 35-50cm in some places. So it’s going to be big for the places that don’t get snow at all or don’t get this much snow.

Like my office texted us last night to tell is they are keeping it closed today and to stay home…that’s NEVER happened in the 16 years I’ve been there.

Apparently doesn't seem to be the case in Philadelphia:

pennsylvania is in a state of emergency. "everyone stay inside". philadelphia: (video)

... though I suspect these videos are probably from before the storm.

For those who don't immediately recognize them through the snow, those are the Art Museum stairs (from the Rocky movies).

In my youth I might have sledded down them sans sled. Just rolling through the snow...

Saw another video of some guy lying down on a sled tied to the back of a moving car... other cars flying past.
