I saw on TV NY Mayor DiBlasio saying the storm was unprecedented, the worst ever and evidence of recent weather changes brought by global warming. On the weather channel the weather woman was saying this was not as bad as the 1978 storm that hit NY.

This is all very confusing to me out here on the plains.

The entire Northeast actually.

I can certainly agree that I haven't seen a worse snow storm than the '78 blizzard. It started on Feb. 6 of '78 and I couldn't get home for three days and nights and Kathy was home with two little girls worrying about me while I was worrying about them.
Then on Feb. 6th of '79 I crashed into a tree when I was forced off the road... and I didn't get home for almost eight weeks.

Real Meteorologists don't say 'bomb cyclone' or 'Category Five' hurricane.

Damn straight they are. I know one whose father sold his BHE20 so she could get her Masters degree.
