Yeah, so? Seems like the larger city would be more ready then.. **** um, they're big fat pussies who cry every time something comes along... And, BTW, I'm pretty sure Fargo has 300,000 better people in it than Boston.

I would think a big city would have a harder time with a huge storm than a rural town would.

That would be a neat trick, considering Fargo has barely 100,000 people in it. It's only slightly bigger than, well, Lee's Summit.

And you must have noticed that a big city has a harder time dealing with snow, because the population density means it's harder to move the stuff out of the way. You must have noticed that, living near KC, and Boston has half again Kansas City's population stuffed into less than 1/3 the size. And it's not alone, the Massachusetts-Connecticut-Rhode Island cluster has *eleven* cities with more than 100,000 people in an area 1/4 the size of Missouri. That's not even counting the three northernmost states, New Jersey, and - oh yeah - New York.

On top of all of that, this isn't just a snowstorm, it's an actual blizzard - winds of over 50 miles per hour and thundersnow have already been reported. Just reading the snowfall amounts might not get you excited, but New England is not laid out like the midwest that most of you know best. Big storms can mess the place up, but good.

This is turning out to be a bad, bad storm.

I'm sure we'll all be hearing numbers we can text donations to. I get it, I went through the storm of '78 in Virginia Beach, I just don't recall the concern... It was awesome!

I remember that. It was over Washington's birthday, right? We got a couple of feet in Maryland. We stacked it up against the neighbor kid's shed and made a sled ramp.
