2008 Is Gonna Blow This Popstand

Those of you planning to stumble around NYC tonight, ringing in the New Year, should probably plan ahead when it comes to your exit strategy. Weather Underground is predicting 1 to 3 inches of snow, and winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour into the evening...wind chills approaching zero. You get the picture.

Based on the past few years, getting out of Williamsburg after midnight tonight will involve standing in a block-long line in front of the Northside Car Service base on Bedford (they stop answering calls when they get backed up). In those weather conditions (and in your New Years hipster party frocks), you'd better be either well-insulated or well-numbed (or both).

Happy New Year!
