In NY City it was $300. And it's even more ludicrous because the snow was
only a few inches at that time. They wouldn't have pardoned anyone when the
forecast was proven wrong.

We had a blizzard once with almost 3 feet on the day before my brother's
wedding. During the storm we went out to dig out the cars and move them in
preparation for the next morning. These Sandinistas would have had the
wedding party arrested. The basis of their philosophy is that people can't
take care of themselves and make their own decisions.
