SIX hours trapped in a theatre. Not sure I could do that.
It’s been cold here too, but we’re used to that and don’t expect anything else. In fact, we’d be alarmed if it were warm.
Regarding ‘snow days’: Virginians are not wimpy. Wisconsin is heavily invested in snow removal equipment and the crews that know how to use it. They fill pot holes in the summer. Besides, roads are a lot slipperier at 30 degrees than they are at 14 degrees and layered with salt.
It’s not that we are better drivers, or braver drivers. You just face greater hazards.
Nonsense. Some people just don’t know how to drive in the snow. When my oldest sister moved to DC after college, someone hit her car the very first time it snowed — less than an inch.
VA does not lack snow removal or salt dispensing equipment. The state does not OWN this equipment, but they contract with independent guys with snow plows etc and utilize private citizens who want to make extra $, that in combination with the state’s trucks etc mean we are not ill-served in snowy conditions. Virginians are indeed wimpy. Ask anyone who lives here who has lived in a snowbelt elsewhere.
