Post Sandy traumatic disorder contributed to blizzard prepardness hype

The blizzard never came but the preparation was of epic proportions. Stores shelves were emptied, travel bans, askanim urging residents to stay off the roads, non stop hype of what was to come. It was apparent the effects of Hurricane Sandy are still fresh on the hearts of minds of many which was an underlying factor in the response to the blizzard that did not come. During Sandy ppl were stuck for days with no electricity, food or even gas for the cars. People are not taking chances anymore.
