more proof everybody should have an A-case and a B-case of MRE's with a couple cases of bottled H2O in the house at all times...
'Snowmageddon' brings DC to standstill
Snow piles up outside the White House on Saturday
A Marine stands sentry as the snow falls while President Barack Obama works in the West Wing of the White House
Officials urged people to huddle at home unless they have “Chicago flinty toughness”.
In a battle of the god's, Obama loses.
My little town made the national news. We’re over 30” here and it’s still snowing. Taking a break from shoveling.
We didn’t get any snow here in northwestern NJ. My daughter, who goes to college in southwestern Virginia, says they closed the university yesterday, and it is still showing this afternoon.
Everyone be sure tomorrow to ask our preachers “Did God or global warming cause the Whiteout in DC?”
...the Muscovites must be in stitches.
Everyone should ‘huddle’ except ‘the One’...

Here in Aiken County, SC, the wind is blowing, the sky is cloudy and it’s pretty cold. Where is my FEMA debit card?
No comments from All Gore or the global warming fraudsters?
didn’t think so.
This just proves that Global Warming is a lot worse than originally predicted.
Think of all those senators and congressman stranded in the capital without food or power for a week or so... heh heh heh...
Wow! I wonder how bad the blizzard would be if we didn’t have Global Warming going on — maybe it would get to 60 inches of snow instead of only 30 inches. /sarc off...
Small miracle, DC is paralyzed.
And exactly what has Precedent Obama done to handle this national emergency?
Where’s FEMA? Where’s the trailers? Where’s the National Guard? Where is all the help for the peoples from Uncle Sugar?
He’s done NOTHING, I tell you! NOTHING!...g...g...g...g...g...
For years people have said hell would have to freeze over before the Saints made it to the Super Bowl. Today Washington DC is being hit with a record-setting blizzard. Coincidence or does God have a sense of humor?
When people talk about being 'buried' under snow, I think about my family really being buried in our cabin in a logging camp in the Black Range forest in New Mexico in 1947... I was six years old. We couldn't open the door to get out, and melting snow outside the two windows created thick solid blocks of ice preventing any exit. We were trapped inside for seven days.
Pictures taken by the first rescuers to arrive at the camp showed only about 2 feet of the chimneys of cabins (about 25 of them) visible above the snow.
I remember well how my step father rationed what food we had in the cabin - the day before we were finally dug out we had the last meal of Quaker Oats and canned milk. I always hated oatmeal after that week of so much of it... ~grim grin~
Oxygen was a problem - couldn't have a fire very long we quickly found - because the fire used oxygen we needed to breath. We could only have small ones for short periods of time.
Unfortunately two people died in their cabin - probably of oxygen deprivation.
Rescuers dug trenches (somehow) in the snow to get to the cabin doors, and I remember that my brother and I got into trouble playing in those long trenches... playing children most likely got in the way of adults trying to move 'the necessities' to and from cabins.
I say somehow, because those paths in the snow were close to 10 feet deep and more - far far above our heads... so I have often wondered how they went about the job.
It was more than a week before we could get a car out - it had to be pulled by a 'bulldozer' though a lot of mud.
We never went back...
