This was a freak storm. The weather forecasters didn't give ample time to prepare because the storm did a late shift. The roads weren't treated in their usual 2 days prior to the storm....and when the snow came it accumulated at rates that we usually don't see around here.

Add that with people who ignore folks telling him to stay home, combined with the usually bottleneck you get around that part of 95, and here we are :francis:
Definitely took me by surprise after the little snow we had gotten last year. It’s all fun and games until the shovel comes out and you gotta deal with them icy cars and roads. :snoop: Seeing most folks around here, especially in DC, who do not know how to clear off their car. :skip:

That rainfall we had before the snow is what really killed shyt. It’s gonna be even more of a mess tomorrow morning when shyt refreezes overnight.

Always be prepared.

Try to keep food, water, kitty litter and a small shovel in your car.

the entire DMV is basically snowed in. None of the governments were prepared, or there was a lot of COVID cases. Usually this type of snow storm is knocked by the morning. Mayor Bowser hasn't sent any plows down this way yet. Only main roads. I been following the trakcer, and its similar all over DC. Only downtown is supposedly clear. :damn:
":mjpls: We'll start at Capitol Hill and work our way outwards"
