There's actually a lot of snow in New York!

The media hyperventilated for days, and the forecasts got so dire that New York's nanny-ish mayor closed the entire city before a single flake had fallen.

Of course, the forecasts proved overblown, and we got a pathetic six inches. So New York businesses lost billions of dollars-worth of revenue and productivity for nothing.

This year, thankfully, the predicted "snowmageddon" hit on a Saturday, so we didn't have to worry about the mayor's tendency toward hysteria hurting the economy.

And the storm actually over-delivered!

We're about 18 hours into it, and an impressive 20-25 inches have fallen.
