I'm not after money or an apology!
It was clear that Newark had screwed up!!
The crew - both cabin and cockpit made the best of a bad job. And clearly a flight to the states is very different to something in Europe.
The thread started with - is this a record??
Maybe I was lucky once I was through security, I only waited 10 mins for an Uber which wasn't that much over the usual price. Scalpers were charging 75 bucks a person to ride into Manhattan. Mine was 86 bucks, came in 10 mins and I was in my hotel in Lower Manhattan 30 mins after pickup.
Other contributors are right - Newark should be hammered for all of the chaos. Simply because the roads are bad, doesn't excuse an airport with it's dedicated snow clearance people and machinery. What was clear however for all the agencies who fell down, is that either the amount of snow, or it's effect was underestimated!!
