Fact, dudes want to wait until it's the middle of the blizzard and tons of snow on the railroad and a train can't move for DeBlasio to say "service is suspended"
The hell
Wait until mad cars are stuck on the side of the road to say "don't drive after 11"

You talking about Grand central?
Go ahead with your assumptions though.

Your logic just doesn't make sense, you have to make a executive decision and stick to it. Either people going to work or they're not, either kids are going to school or they're not. You can't make a decision at 6PM and then see it's not so bad outside at 12AM and say well folks change of plans everybody go to school and work now. If you rather the Mayor wait until stuff gets real to make a decision than prepare for stuff to get real .. I mean I guess

Just saying my logic doesn't make sense doesn't make it so that my logic doesn't make sense. You just don't understand it.Railroad?

I posted how I felt this and all snow storms should be handled in NYC.
They would go to work and school.
I think your problem is thinking and assuming I'm saying do nothing until there's 12 ft of snow outside. That is your problem with assuming things, putting words in to other ppl's mouths and jumping to huge conclusions. You want it to be that I'm saying something like that but I'm not.
No. You make an announcement at noon. The decisions is to already have the trucks out on the roads clearing up the 2 inches of snow already out there while laying salt. At 6pm you'd make the announcement and decision to close things down at the adjusted timeline according to how the weather looks at that time and if it persists. You don't change plans at 12am. It's 12am. When did I say you'd reverse a decision?
All you're doing is continually assuming things about my posts because you have a specific narrative you want to argue against. You're not getting it so you're making it up as you go like I'm suppose to defend that stance while you try to dismiss something I'm not saying as logic that doesn't make sense to you.
Making a decision and preparation are two different things. Again if this is what you thought I've said you obviously didn't read my post in it's entirety, assuming ****, and making **** up.If you rather the Mayor wait until stuff gets real to make a decision than prepare for stuff to get real .. I mean I guess
Brooklyn.
If you're gonna refer to any train lines that mainly run outside I'd say you'd obviously adapt for those specific lines. You not gonna have the L train running every stop if it's not possible. Same for the 7 train service and others like that.

Preparation involves making decisions you just don't like the decisions that were made.

I think you're really confusing being the mayor or the governor (who really made the decisions this time around) making the decisions and what I'm saying as far as making the announcement to the ppl of NYC that your decision is to make a curfew, shut down all other ulterior means of transportation, and order early dismissal from school and work.Preparation involves making decisions
Of course you make decisions when you're planning to prepare. Of course you make decisions when you actually start preparing. *Sigh*
Like I said though, from the jump it's been clear you haven't been completely comprehending what I've been saying and instead of asking me to clear anything up for you're just assuming stuff and reacting.

Ok so because you only take the subway and you live in Brooklyn let me paint a bigger picture for you.
Most people who work in Manhattan do not live in Manhattan. A large number for that matter live outside of NYC.
This includes your police, MTA workers, doctors, nurses and most importantly the teachers.
Now these people take the railroads
The metro north , LIRR, NJPath and whatever else comes into the city.
When these people cant take the Rail because they are covered in snow (like they are in Long Island) they drive and make a mess of the streets.
You have more people than the city can handle on a normal day and it creates gridlock. Think of day 2 after sandy when they had to limit the number of people coming in Manhattan.
On top of that try cleaning the damn streets with all of these people. The rich white folks on channel 7 were complaining about the lack of cleaning on 5th ave.
And where they have to be extra careful is the teachers because when they didnt close the school the whole School system got in their rear because they put a lot of children in danger and half of the teachers couldnt even make it in which caused children sitting in lunchrooms for 8 hrs and parents said they should have stayed home for that.

apparently the city should of just continued like a regular day. The shutdown was unwarranted and unnecessary.

I stand by the mayor and all the officials (because he's not the only mayor that shut down their respective cities).
Everyone still got a day off so I don't think this is anything to really complain about.
Everyone is really quick to hang DiBlasio every time winter comes around he's dammed if he does, dammed if he doesn't

It'll definitely be a problem for those commuting in the greater tri-state area but in no way some some insurmountable obstacle. It's a temporary inconvenience. Like what happened for some last year.
The school isn't that clear to me. The kids are either being picked up by their parents or being driven home by school bus. The roads taken to drop them home aren't the same gridlocked streets for commuters leaving the city. Unless you're specifically just talking about children that live outside the state and are doing what would usually be an under hr commute to and from school.

I'm not even singling out DeBlasio with my complaint. Given what these weather ppl were saying the pressure was on. So much so the Gov. had to preempt any announcement by the mayor by doing his own announcement for every part of the state that would be affected.I stand by the mayor and all the officials (because he's not the only mayor that shut down their respective cities).

This originally started cuz dude disagreed with me about the overreaction, hyped up "blizzard", and media frenzy created around this situation.
We'll see what happens when the next "hurricane" comes around given how they reacted here. It seems things will only be dealt with in a post-Sandy nature nowadays where one inconvenience will be traded in for another if the ppl in charge are being led astray or the ppl that are suppose to have a good idea of what will go down don't.

There are no teachers to teach the kids and the school buses are another testicle for plows to dance around.
They shut down the city and worked the night cleaning the streets without any interruptions. They didnt have to tow any idiots because they came out with summer tires or any old ladies trying to get to bingo.
The streets are clean and they sent the trucks out to long island to help with their cleanup because they got hit with the real snow

You talking as if there hasn't been this amount of snow in NYC before (I'm talking about the actual amount of snow we got) where there weren't these amount of bans or interruptions where the job of cleaning the streets were done while the ppl of the city still managed to act accordingly.
Are you seriously suggesting that from now on when there's snow coming the city should shut down like it was or it'd be okay if that happened just in case?
If teachers don't show up to schools, then it's obviously the schools prerogative to close for the day if that's how it is.
Also the way you're talking seems there's a shortage of garbage trucks with plows on them but I won't bring my eyewitness account of how many were on Flatbush.

I am not going to go back and forth with you my intention was to get you to think a little outside of your bubble that is Brooklyn.
If you do a quick google search of last years "snowstorm" that was 3 inches you will see the outrage it caused in the school system.
You seemed to stuck in your mindset or maybe you like to debate which is fine but are off base and strike me as the type to never be happy with any outcome
