Last night's/this morning's snow left another dusting that makes everything so pretty to look at but another story to trudge through. Considering how much forecasters were worrying us, the snow is actually anti-climactic here in the city, with an inch or so, which is easy for the city's 350 salt spreaders, 1,400 plows and 2,000 workers (stats from Newsday). The Mayor was freaked out enough to urge commuters to take subways and buses into the city. And we liked what the Southampton Highway Superintendent William Masterson told Newsday in terms of what the best case scenario for snow is: "The ideal storm starts at 10 p.m. Saturday, and you have all day Sunday to clean it up." Sadly, Mother Nature is unfamiliar with commuting patterns. But the weekend should warm up, with some forecasts saying Monday will be a balmy 40 degrees. This means wear boots to wade through melting snow!

Did anyone else catch on Fox 5's Good Day New York they had school closings from Cape May County, New Jersey - over 100 miles away from NYC where they can't even get the station and are in another TV market! Images here.
Toby there's this new invention called cable TV and they carry New York's fox outlet even in the boonies of Cape May. Rumor has it that you can remove your radio shack dual antenna and signal booster off the roof nowadays...
that was the worst freaking snow storm ever. several inches my ass.
These weather channels out here are all hype when it comes to these storms. It drums up more viewership. Back in the MN we turn off the tv when the news begins to report snow - it's second nature, son.
Mr Television - WNYW (Fox 5) is not on cable in South Jersey. Instead is served by WTXF Fox 29 from Philadelphia, as they are part of that market. So there is really no way that anyone in Cape May could be watching Fox 5 even with a powerful antenna.
i've been to places served by fox in philly where the cable company also carries fox 5...
tien - There are places in Central New Jersey where there is signal overlap and the cable companies carry both NYC and Philly stations, not that anyone would want to watch Philly stations. The formula has something to do with FCC signigicant viewing regulations of the station via antenna dating back to the 1970s. It is rather complicated.
