Well, when there is a big storm in DC all of YOU have to hear about it. Because not only is this the most important city in the world, it is the most SELF-important city in the world. And the media megaphones are here.

I was unemployed and more hale and fit when the last big one hit on President's Day 2003. Made it easier to dig out 13 years ago. 1996 was the one before that. 1983 before that. 1978 was REALLY big.
Update... This one might be 1978 size.
I was there for `83. What a frigging mess.
