BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency for blizzard that could bring near 3 feet of snow.

Patrick signed an executive order banning all vehicles from roadways starting at 4 p.m. today. Ban applies to all roadways, including highways and secondary roads. Any one caught driving after 4 p.m. faces up to one year in jail and $500 fine.

One year in jail. WOW.

A year in jail for getting yourself home from work??

Well that is the price paid because the government believes you are to stupid to make your own choices so they will sure that the chains are tight and if a fine does not do it then they have to put you behind bars--for your own safety of course

Eh... I'm not sure how I feel about this. Yes it's just snow, but we're going to get an awful lot of it. They're forecasting over 2 feet.

Oh cmon..we have had more than 2 feet of snow before. Maybe they should get their plows out there.

It has been snowing here in NY since early morning. I have had plows in and out of here. You can drive.

Heheh..on a side note..I wonder why the NY Nazi didnt think this up. His plan is only to stop busses.

The King has Declared ..

Zitat

Patrick said the blizzard is “a profoundly different kind of storm than we have dealt with” and the projected snowfall rate of two to three inches per hour will “make safe travel nearly impossible.”

Has the Royal Governor taken into account that hospitals still need Dr's and nurses to show up for work even if it snows? Are they planning to send them all to jail?

This is crazy.
