Looking like Wash DC is the bull's eye for 2 or more feet of snow this
weekend. This will be interesting to watch as it pans out.

The answer is simple. Our government will shut down for a week.
I suppose they will find a way to blame it on the GOP ;-)


My recollection is a federal government shutdown of only two days for a
"blizzard," and, of course, making the highways and byways safe for
travel and clearing the Metro and rail commuter tracks takes time.



The average yearly snowfall in Wash DC is about 14 inches total.
This storm may bring two feet or more all at once. It might take a
while to get cleared out.


I have been in DC for a number of these 2'+ snow falls and it tends to
jam the place up for quite a while. A lot depends on what comes behind
it. Sometimes it warms up and things actually get worse because it
still freezes over night so you get black ice. My Firebird wore a
little reminder of that until after I sold it.
If it snows again it even gets uglier and people just stay home for
days.


I got propane, so I can bbq. Whenever I see a Dominion Virginia Power truck in the
neighborhood I go thank the guy. We've not had an outage over a few hours since I
moved here in 1995 (knock on wood).

Greg's comment about him being in DC for a "number" of these 2'+ snow
falls got me curious, so I did some reading. According to this website
which lists the 10 worst DC area snow storms in history, the last time
the DC area had over 2 feet of snow (in a single storm) was in 1922.
All others on the "worst" list are less than 2 feet, most of them in the
14" to 17" range. So, either Greg is a lot older than he admits or he's
counting the results of multiple storms. :-)

His rememberator is broken or as you say, he's older than he claims.

A number of this groups posters seem prone to exaggeration. Maybe Ditzy Dan has nowhere near 45+ guns hiding under his bed.

That's two for two decent threads you've tried to f-up. Why? What's the point? Will
Krause like you more?

Perhaps we should keep track of all the threads you and your gang of
turds try to **** up. Since there are so many of you in that gang of
turds, I suspect the number will be substantial, eh?

You're not in charge here, Johnny, and no one has to behave the way you
and your gang of turds won't.

Your anti-this and anti-that threads aren't decent, Krause.

I'm sure Don is happy you came to his 'aid', however.

How're the owls, krause? (Whoops! That's an 'unentitled' question, eh?)

That's quite amusing coming from y'all, Johnny.
Are you trying to impress the turds circling your bowl?
