Bigger and Badder than the last storm. In CT, starting early Tuesday 3/14 into Wednesday 3/15 afternoon with blizzard conditions Tuesday and accumulations of around a foot. Boston may take a major hit. Expect great surge opportunities if you have 4WD or AWD, and good snow tires. Accuweather.

If pro-Global-Warming, that's the obvious reason there's a mid-March blizzard. - duh!
If anti-Global-Warming, it's a blizzard, pretty much the opposite causes. - duh!

I cant wait gonna go snowboarding! Up here in boston it keeps showing itll mix the more time goes on.

Btw that global warming debate.
Its new england! Nothing ever is straight forward in the weather up here

Plus there is a difference between climate change and weather. Many of the dumb people-read Trump supporters-can not grasp that.

 

[zerostars]

Last storm there were no big surges because there was not that much demand -

I am going to keep my eye out for big surge on Uber Eats - I may do some of those if the surge is high enough

There is a traffic ban all day so no uber driver should be out there

How many times does conneticut ban travel?

[buster89]

Uber just sent text message saying at 5am Uber won't be active in CT until ban lifted soooooooo I guess that's it? Figures.

Yeah, that's for those who are ignorant of the law.

Here are his exact words: "Residents are urged to make safety a priority and to not make any attempt to travel."

And from the Connecticut State Police: "While people are asked not to drive Tuesday, any drivers should reduce their speed and leave plenty of room between vehicles. Also, they should remember to put on their headlights, so their car is visible to other drivers."

There is no legal mechanism to outright "ban" travel in Connecticut.

Well that is very unfortunate because a lot of people are going to be calling 911 for ambulances when they can't get their medication on time.

LYFT will be operational - I plan to run Lyft all day

Uber is probably too scared of all the insurance claims from all the car wrecks from the buffon drivers who dont have good tires and who cant drive

Uber in Massachusetts and/or Rhode Island.

I just got back from a Premium call from Union Station to Maryland. Guys flight was cancelled and Amtrak was already starting delays. Raced back from MD and beat the storm. No need to go out in the storm now.

Power Outages in CT.
On a serious note, each of the 3 power companies in CT maintain an online power outage map, list, and reporting web site. Google

ct outagecentral​

(outagecentral is one word, no spaces)
They can all be reached by phone if you lose Internet access.

Charge your phone battery.
It makes a good flashlight if nothing else.

Now that both Uber and Lyft have shut down operations for the remainder of the blizzard, I'm joining DogSled Delivery. Transporting both packages and people in the worst white-out weather conditions. Going where the best 4WD SUV cannot. Our Motto:
