If you're 24 and remember it from childhood, then that would be about right. They said, "worst in 18 years" - so those two facts aren't contradictory.
There's no doubt that they could have done better - but we generally have a mild climate here - and one would imagine that the resources for shifting problem snowstorms has eroded away somewhat.
How much does it cost to keep us in a state of readiness for a 1 in 18 year blizzard?

bad to me and should be at least the bare minimum the country could cope with. I would've expected to be able to at least catch a bloody bus!
