I live in DC and know you all think we are big sissies.
I lived in Ohio, Chicago, Boston, and Denver where we managed better. Still, I remember what an ordeal it was getting to work in Chicago all winter.
It is very congested here and people here drive too fast.
There are a lot of people here who don't understand about slowing down.
The children have to be out on the street waiting for busses. This is the big concern since it is so busy.
Fairfax also has rural areas that don't get cleared too fast.
Our weather often makes the roads very icy. It is not the hard cruncy snow your tires can did into. We often have that black ice.
