I’ll never forget the blizzard of ‘78…’96 was brutal too…
Kinda condradicts the ‘global warming’ hoax
Actually no— this is the pending weather. The climate (weather over a long time) is warming. But you keep on ignoring science…..
according to Al Gore we would be underwater 20 years ago. Keep drinking the left wing fake narrative kool aid
Nothing but a hoax that dems must continue to push to collect funding from their donors who profit from the hoax
You obviously don’t know anything about climate change and probably don’t live on the coast where you’ll notice the rise of sea level and beaches being lost every year.
is that why the Obama’s bought a house on Martha’s Vineyard on the beach ????
Hoax confirmed!
I know the state is on 12 hours shifts.
Well, that’s how it should be. You worked 12 hours 12 hours off, during snow storms. And the company pays for meals and hot drinks, and supply to place to sleep. Hotel,
Let’s see if my foreman of the Dpw get us, coffee, hot, chocolate,
This is going to be interesting
That shouldn’t even be a thought. It should be automatically.
Pee Wee, The Bond King, and Keith wearing DPW hats at the salt depot on Franklin Turnpike is the photo op we need right now.
The only time ‘more than 8 inches’ and white is used in the same sentence
When did we start naming snow storms
