It's snowing = stay at home

Quite a lot actually. But it's not crazy a lot (might be haven't ventured outside yet actually) - but that's besides the point. Here in New York, people (anyone - government mostly) have absolutely no idea how to handle it. I thought Sweden was paralyzed when snow decided to fall. But this is more on the hilarious note. Where Sweden gets upset. Train stops functioning, buses are late, people are cold, etc - New York just shuts down.
Pretty much no one has to go to work today.
You can stay home.
Work from home, that is - don't confuse stay at home with day off - note to oneself.
And it's equally glorious as it is annoying. How can the world's greatest city be perplexed each time snow falls and immediately become a developing country. It's not like it never happened before, or it's located in a geographical remote location that makes it insane every time it snows. No. It's pretty much like Stockholm. Except no infrastructure whatsoever when it comes to this.
Same as garbage. Those stinking piles of trash that flood the streets are just sad to watch. That we will go through some other time.
