WASHINGTON Say it aint snow! The weather outside really is frightful Thursday, and staying home for a lot of school kids in the Washington area is surely delightful.
But D.C.s first snowfall has created conditions that are cold, wet and dangerous for many commuters. It isnt just snow either. Theres also sleet and freezing rain to contend with.
Check out photos of winters first slap of the season below.
We’re on the Jersey coast; shouldn’t get much below 35 here.
This "bread and milk" routine is ridiculous.
Well in central MD not 30 mi from DCweve had snow prior to TG more recently than that. 2x near Halloween...one was right after Sandy in 2012, then the next year I think. Its not shocking.
Its not national news. Its a local radio station report.
In wdc snow means give government “workers” time off...always with pay. Essentially, it is a free vacation on taxpayers’ backs. What a joke. Corruption reigns on other-peoples’-money.
here in WNY, 12 inches of snow is no big deal....
They having some kind of climate change summit?
Which side of the Fall Line are you on?
Sometimes it makes a difference :-)
I don’t know if it made the news outside of the NYC metro area, but here in northeastern NJ this storm has been a disaster. Wasn’t much in terms of snow, but roads froze quickly and many people who would normally get home in 30 minutes took four hours to get home. In a state with so many cops pulling in six figures, NONE of them will get out and direct traffic at the bottlenecks; because our government worker caste is so expensive, there isn’t much money for salting/plowing. Many people couldn’t get out of NYC on buses because the buses they’d ride couldn’t get into the city to pick them up; this was an absolute mess. Going forward, many people will just stay home at the slightest hint of snow because of this response - and the trend will continue whereas employers locate where weather isn’t so disruptive.
Well, I guess I’m only just west of it.
