I get that.  Yes, it is unusual.  Again, I think I'm just a little irked 
by the way the media covers the subject.  I know it's no joke for those 
experiencing it.  I grew up in Vermont, in the 1970's.  Below zero temps 
and 2-3 foot snowstorms were the "norm" back then, and things are 
starting to cycle back to that pattern, I think.

I do have to say that anyone who lives in New England and *ISN'T* 
prepared for such weather....... is an idiot.  Sorry, but it's true.
