This last week we asked readers their thoughts on the Jan. 27 snowstorm that closed schools and shut down public transportation and how they coped with it.

Well, this is officially my first snowstorm because I just moved to New York from Miami. I was expecting a really big shutdown with the trains not working and the next thing you know we get three inches of snow and everyone’s outside enjoying themselves, so it’s pretty much a free day.

I’m from New Jersey and I got stuck out here because I work in the city and the traffic was crazy and the buses to New Jersey were shutting down earlier, so I couldn’t even get home and I stayed out here. I was expecting this huge storm and it turned out to be like nothing.

We were looking forward to a few days off from work to play with the kids. I actually work at Montefiore, so I wasn’t expecting it, but all non-essential clinical appointments were canceled, so I kind of feel bad that it turned out to not be so bad, because the patients missed their appointments. But it’s nice to have a day with the kids and the family.

I don’t think it was so big. It’s just an average winter snowstorm and it’s nice to have the day off and spend time with the kids. Everyone canceled yesterday, so we got a free day. I do think the media hyped up this storm. It’s just another nice day of snow.

It wasn’t very bad. We were supposed to get like two or three feet but we didn’t get that. I guess Mother Nature changed her mind. Sometimes the weather says one thing today, but tomorrow it says something else. You can’t get a more accurate forecast; it’s all up to God.
