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. |

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. :-) http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Ten-Worst-Storms-in-DC-History-365815301.html |

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. |

I'm sure Don is happy you came to his 'aid', however. How're the owls, krause? (Whoops! That's an 'unentitled' question, eh?) -- Ban idiots, not guns! |

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