Courtesy of some nerdy weather phenomenon, it's snowing today. Mayor Bloomberg is trying to reassure New Yorkers that the city is on top of this, but maybe we should all just prepare not to have garbage picked up until Groundhog's Day. Oh, and the MTA says that buses will have chains on their tires, to avoid scenes like this.

NJ, which also is expecting six inches of snow at most, has seen some school districts plan for early dismissals.
