There's so much wrong with what you wrote, beginning with the fact you can't even spell the Governor's name correctly.

I have to throw in when it comes to complaining about snow removal. It is the most petty complaining in the world.
"Why can't my local government solve what insurance carriers call acts of god?"
1. Don't live north if you hate it so bad. Move. Move your family. Concider your friends secondary to your hate of the snow. Find a different job. Whatever it takes. Nobody in this country is forced to live in snowy states.
2. Find a home where the weather won't affect you so.
3. Move to a neighborhood where several plow owners live. That is what we did. We have streets plowed every 4 hours.
4. Snowblow yourself.
5. Don't leave the house.
Priorities in snow --- emergency vehicles. That is it. If it takes a week. Emergency vehicles. The rest of us are secondary.
Plowers work harder over 72 hour spans than complainers do over any three given days in their lives.
By being WDW fans here, I am pretty secure in assuming that amost everybody here is at least lower-middle if not middle class. Guess what. It gets worse for the lower classes needing plowing. Seriously. It gets bad when meals on wheels folks who live in homes worth less than 10k cannot get a hot meal delivered for several days. Be grateful that most can fend for themselves pretty well when crazy weather hits. Try looking beyond your self indulgent complaining box a bit before seriously getting upset over a little snow removal.

Most emergency vehicles in the area are currently stuck in snow. Someone a few streets over had to get an army vehicle sent to their house for someone who needed to go to the ER. Ambulances can't get through the snow because the town doesn't have enough plows to get them out.
One of our neighbors is a doctor, she currently can't drive to the hospital to do her job. She had to WALK to there, because the town wouldn't come plow our street.
As for moving, it rarely, rarely ever snows this much in this part of New Jersey. I'm not up and moving because we have one record snowfall...but thanks for the unwanted advice. We pay taxes for public works, that includes snow plowing, people have every right to be angry when roads are full of 3+ feet of snow 3 days later.

Uhhh.... interesting name indeed....
Good news for Huff? This isn't about where the story was posted! Did you not see the links to the same story posted on several different websites? This is about Walt Disney World being in the news and how (at least I think) it's publicity for them. That's all.

One human being does not run a state.
It must suck to have a job where you are judged when taking a vacation and why you should not.

Anyone know which Resort the Christies stay at??
The joke in state was that he skipped on Blizzard Beach too b/c he won't be seen in a bathing suit. He fortunately skipped this blizzard too.
The problem is that the newly created Lt. Governor is also on vacation, but to Mexico. The real country.

"Snow in the northeast happens often, which is why the response was handled expeditiously between the acting governor, secretary of transportation, state police and the governor's staff with all the appropriate and necessary coordination. And like every other day, the governor was and continues to be in regular contact with his staff and cabinet officers"
The reality of the matter here is that we are living in the 21st century. Twenty five or Thirty years ago, before the proliferation of wireless communications, such an absence may have been a cause for concern. Today the Governor could probably be video conferenced in the restroom stall at Pecos Bill's if the need arose. I'm sure he's probably painfully aware of this, as I have been on some vacations.
As others have said, it should come as no surprise that it snows (sometimes a lot) in the northeast during winter. For all the horror stories that you hear about snow storms, my experience is that the inconvenience rarely lasts more than 24 hours or so, except for those stranded at the airports. If you're fearful of winter weather, then stay home. Chances are that traveling will be just fine within a day or so.
Last, as others have said, our Politicians are still human and we can't expect them to serve their entire terms without taking some time off to spend with their families and away from the pressure of the job. If they weren't allowed to live, I doubt we'd have very many good people in government office.

Parts of Ocean County, not revealing what town I live in. We have snow drifts up to 6 feet tall.
Here's countless people who are currently stuck in their homes, waiting to be plowed. http://www.news12.com/articleDetail.jsp?articleId=269761&position=1&news_type=news
This video pretty much sums up what I and many others are experiencing http://www.news12.com/articleDetail.jsp?articleId=269823&position=1&news_type=news

I live on the barrier island, we measured avg of 30 inches in the middle of yards, but have snow drifts easily 5 ft plus on roads, especially where the snow was wind whipped!
Not proving a point either way, just reporting.

It's scary stuff. The drifts surrounding our cars were at least 6 feet tall, never seen anything like it here.
What's the plow situation where you are?

We live in Monmouth County and our roads got plowed just last night, suffice to say we had over a foot of snow on our street (which is a pretty well-travelled road). Our snowfall totalled around two feet.
We were planning on going to Ocean City on the 26th (since we have relatives in Absecon). However, the impending blizzard shortened our plans and we left the morning of the 26th and saw around three car accidents on the parkway coming up.
