I was working outside of Boston when the storm hit late in the day.We were let out of work early (10 PM.), and already some cars in the parking lot were drifted over.I was carpooling at the time and it took us over 9 hours to go 20 miles to where our cars were parked! Took me 3 more hours to drive the 8 miles to home. When I finally got home the phone was ringing, It was my boss asking me if I was coming into work that day !

Blizzard in 2011 was not bad either.

I lived in southeast CT when the blizzard hit. I disagree with some of the people saying the forecasters missed the severity of the storm. The forecasters were predicting this nor'easter 3-4 days in advance with one forecaster saying the low off the Virginia coast would 'explode'. Forecasted snow amounts were up to 2 feet, which fell short in some areas of SE Mass. Still a good forecast. I worked for the public works dept. in my hometown and we were warned in advance and well prepared.

love mac I movie !!!!!!!! should have used more images and voice overs as therealOTim stated, also some more audio background, dont use foreboding or any of the standard sounds like you did in the intro,... try downloading from itunes you can obtain any type of sound or music, still a great effort !!!
