Let It Snow (fercrissake)

So who can tell me about this "storm" supposedly coming? The weather on Boston.com simply described it as ordinary snow, nothing to get worked up about. But everyone at work is all "the storm, the STORM!"

What don't I know?

So what would you say are my chances of my Amtrak trip (departing noon on Saturday) being more or less unaffected by this snow?

Darned good.

Well, that's encouraging. I switched from flying to taking the train for this annual trip a few years ago to avoid the psychotic bullshit at Logan. The ride takes a whole day but its so worth it for avoiding stress.

Even when the weather is good Amtrak is much less stressful than Logan..add high winds and snow..no contest.

In theory, you're right. The rails do pretty well when it snows. But you're going into the great snowy North. Might be a good idea to keep an eye on the Upstate NY thread for this storm, or of that is far too much noise maybe a post to the ne.transportation or misc.transport.rail.americas Usenet groups.

Lulz. That Upstate NY thread is so funny. They're totally excited for the snow and are celebrating. :-) And Upstate NY is exactly where I'm going!

Most Weather geeks and the forecasters get very excited by weather events. A lot of them/us are Stormchasers as well.
