Snow in DC
Being from Massachusetts, I've seen my share of snow storms. Those of you from New England all remember last year when three feet of the white stuff fell at once. That was an experience. Now that I am a mid-Atlantic coast guy, I won't be seeing more than a few inches here, a dusting there. But that doesn't make it easier to deal with.
When the DC area gets snow, it's like the end of the world is upon us. Schools close, the government shuts down early, and NOBODY knows how to drive in the stuff. We've been getting snow-ice-rain all day here and I tell ya, people freeked out. The snow only lasted for a few hours in the morning and we got about 1.5 inches. It's been raining ever since and when I was out driving atround this afternoon, it was fine.
But the area schools either sent their kids home early or cancelled the day outright. Afternoon activities were postponed. People left work early. All for what? Because it snowed in the morning and even though it's been pouring rain for about seven hours now, people can't handle it.

That's all I got.

Jas, you can't judge those poor Maryland people on their lack of snow knowledge. After all, even the people in New England turn rediculous when it starts to snow out. The difference is, they think they CAN drive in it, and get in accidents...where as at least your new peeps admit they have no idea what to do. There's some logic to that, don't you think?
