The snow is falling! The snow is falling!
As a native Chicagoan and a lifelong resident of the Upper Middle West, I was amused at the way folks in Northern Virginia reacted to snow during the time when I lived there. Just let the slightest bit of white show up along the side of the road, and traffic on the Beltway slowed to a crawl. I used to think of DC area motorists as the "Virginia Creepers."
It seems that a major snowstorm of roughly the magnitude we in Des Moines experienced a few days ago is about to hit the capital area. It's reached Charlottesville now, and is relentlessly heading toward Washington and NOVA. As much as eighteen inches of the white stuff may descend in the next forty-eight hours or so.
Stay calm, folks. Life will return to normal before you know it.
Here, it wouldn't be that big a deal. There, it will probably be a major crisis. At least they have the permanent cloud of hot air over the Capitol to ameliorate the catastrophe.
