Maybe this storm brought a few more inches of snow than in previous years, but it was basically the same experience. I walked into a deserted Upper Montclair and took a few pictures, which look identical to pictures from past years (except for the movies showing at the Bellevue Theater) Yet the media made a huge deal about the storm, as always.

Storms are like annual exams. Mayors and governors get a chance to show that they have their act together, or not, and we all grade them. Aside from that, nothing changes.
