God forbid you'd be ever be sarcastic yourself. If you'll excuse my continuing sarcasm.

But putting your own whatever-it-is to one side, before referencing that video I believe that you stated "All I can see *in the NE states*"; a rather wider area than Long Island. There are other videos, which obviously you were too blinkered to find on your own without someone holding your hand.

As Col pointed out this is an exceptional Nor'easter. No hyperbole.

Indeed. Why Yahoo chose to feature that particular video when there are so many others that properly represent this storm (storm of much more than a decade, I'd suggest - at least on a par with February 1978) is anybody's guess.

At that particular spot at that particular time during the early stages on the periphery of the storm near the rain/snow boundary, where roads had been treated and heavy traffic was aiding the melting process - it didn't look much. But just ten miles to the east Islip, Long Island, was reporting 15cm at 19:00 ET then 64cm at 07:00 ET - 49cm in 12 hours, and that's nowhere near the worst in the Northeast/New England.

You tend to only get news footage from places that the news teams can
readily get to. In this case, I'd guess that Long Island was as far as
they could get from New York before conditions became too bad for them
to safely travel any further.
