When the real sh it hits the fan from a Cat 3 and whole infrastructures are wiped out, oh the humanityWith social media there's an increase in awareness and the subsequent hysteria regarding impending snowstorms. People no longer have to wait for the 6pm or 10pm news to get the scoop and those that never wached the news get it on their mobile devices. It's out there in full force, shoved down everyone's throats. It's a trickle down affect. I don't think people are softer these days per say it has more to do with the fact that more people know and the more people post on social media, the more likely it is to get a "help I'm stuck in my house I need someone to come dig me out" post or video clip. That's happenned years ago too just that nobody knew unless it was a story on the 10pm news caught on camera by a reporter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Social media has allowed all of us to see intricate details of others' lives in which we would otherwise be unaware or wouldn't care about anyway. It's one reason why I don't really participate on a grand scale but to each their own. There's certainly a lot of anecdotes that come from social media. Just take a look at what gets passed off as fact when discussing the weather. Some of it makes me cringe and I've only seen a relatively small sample.

powderfreak Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Society as a whole today is softThe old generations all walked uphill both ways to/from school! Sure society as a whole isn't as tough as they used to be. That's how it works when societies prosper and grow. No one is as tough as the original cavemen and hunters and gatherers....and future generations figured out how not to live like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Smh. I tried a sock 7 months ago but it didn't work. lol well played. Most of us post an unhealthy amount. But I look at the forum like social media. Some folks spend their time constantly checking FB/Twitter/email, etc. I check a weather forum. My wife ain't a huge fan either and she knows the look of the pages here, so when she's asking for help with dinner and finds this page open on the browser that I'm slow to leave...it sometimes goes over like a fart in church . The trick is getting away during the boring periods so you have some wife-time in the bank for when the real storm hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavemen were tough SOBs but their life expectancy was like 30 years old. It's good not to be so "tough" now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
met_fan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm pretty sure I saw quoted that NYC was operating about 2000 plows during the storm, by comparison I think DC only has 400 plows (according to a very unscientific Google search).Yeah, but NY is also about 7-8 times the size of DC by area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Cavemen were tough SOBs but their life expectancy was like 30 years old. It's good not to be so "tough" now. Yup. Its basic evolution of a society. And in another 30 years a lot of us in our 30s will feel the same way...because its true. Its just how it works. Society doesn't evolve to make things more difficult for the masses, we all collectively work towards survival and in doing so make things easier on ourselves.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah, There soft, Take away computers and cell phones from people and they become lemmingsI don't think it is a new phenomenon. At least it is something that each generation says about the younger one from what I've seenI'd say I am softer than my parents gen. They were softer than theirs. So far I've been lucky that my son and daughter seem to be reversing this trend. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
