Reply #11: if the second approaching front hits hard, DC will SHUT DOWN..

[diamond14]

the DC Metro area is simply not set up to handle snow storms....we only get ONE or TWO or NONE every winter....last week, the temperatures were in the 60's....now, it's ICE COLD.....

when DC gets snow, EVERYBODY PANICS !!!....nobody has snow tires, or snow wipers...no one knows how to drive in the snow, so the roads become a TOTAL DISASTER....there is hardly any snowplows, it's just not worth it to maintain a fleet of plows for the ONE storm....

and nobody knows how to apply salt correctly, or how to walk in snow/ice....for the most part, people just panic and STAY HOME (that especially includes waiters, maids, cooks, servers, etc).....
