Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Predicting Snowstorms: Better to Be Safe Than Sorry
So far this has been a mild and almost snowless winter in NYC. The photo above is reminiscent of some previous winters, but not this year. Last night there was about 1/2 inchof snow, but I heard of a multicar accident in Westchester early this morning caused by slick roads. Small snowstorms are more of a nuisance since people have to go to work or school while major snowfalls close everything down.
A weather forecast that came out today states that there could be a major storm Friday night into Saturday. Of course, we have to take things one day at a time and long range forecasts could always change. There have been fiascos in the past such as the Lindsay Snow Job of 1969 when it took several days for plows to come to parts of Queens. Mor recently there was a big storm just after Christmas in 2010 while the city was unprepared. So it is certainly better to be safe than sorry and be prepared.
