@BrianLehrer Keeping 6-year-old busy with holiday gifts while I work. She has a list of screen and non-screen activities to do today—art, yoga, Leap pad, blocks, movie, books. I’ll have to make food & feed her too, I guess. Vietnamese soup & bone broth.#snowday #WorkFromHome

@BrianLehrer #BombCyclone = pain in the ass. Daycare is closed in Montclair NJ. Struggling to keep 3yo and 7mo occupied while wife works from home. I can't get my work done. No need to close schools IMHO.

@BrianLehrer I'm skeptical about the new term "bomb cyclone." Seems like it's just someone trying to get more attention to a weather story. Is it really different from the traditional term, "nor'easter"? or "dangerous coastal storm"?
