Big deal. We just lived through 18 inches of the stuff, stiff winds, then sub-zero temps.

But, we’re just a bunch-a-dumb-hicks in a Flyover State. Nothing to see here... *SHRUG*

PLEASE let this bring Government to a screeching halt for a few weeks in Washington, DC. LOL!

Hi there - you live in a part of the country where it snows a lot, right? That’s why this is such a big deal here....very unusual to get any snow much less significant snow before Christmas....but....I getcha.....major snows in flyover country are ignored. It’s only when these hit the home of government and media that it becomes really big news....

And I join all those hoping and praying this brings a God-sent end to any hope whatsoever of getting Obamacare passed this year!!!

Washington DC is far different from Wisconsin.

Diana, you are used to heavy snows. There are people who have come to the Washington area who have never SEEN snow before, or who come from Southern states, and don't react very well to it. This, in turn, confuses the Northern drivers, and the area snarls up. Fun is watching two Bengalis try to shovel out their car.

D.C./ Maryland is in a unique weather zone. We can get polar air masses in winter, followed by tropical air masses in summer.

If we were all used to it, it would be better. We're hoping it doesn't cancel our church's annual Christmas concert.

Next to nanny state politics, the weather is the favorite pasttime of the DC area media. All the better if they can “panic” you about it.

Hope my hubby makes it home from Kentucky on Sunday.

You my FRiend are worse off than most.

You are experiencing the leap from global warming to the critical status of climate change!

Technically we are still the south.

Same here. We got almost four feet of snow the other day and not a peep out of ABC News about it.
