In ‘91 I worked in DC, Anacostia in fact. A big storm rolled in and I made a run for it. The Beltway was guaranteed to be a nightmare so I bailed onto the road through Rock Creek Park. Nobody was there. Nice fresh snow and decent traction the whole way, then surface streets through neighborhoods back into Monkey County.
Latest guidance indicating heaviest snow e PA, NJ, NYC, LI and parts of s New England. 20-40 inch potential (the 40 in most likely to occur 50-100 miles north of PHL).
Many years ago, I drove the Beach Drive several times a week.
When it was really rainy, it was scary - sometimes ‘fountains’ would spout up from the grass, off-side from the creek; and I once lost my brakes going through a really big puddle...
I’m glad I haven’t had to do that in many years.
