Just a little bit. First white weather event of the season.
And, like EVERY year, they don't prep the roads when that is forecast for the first event of the season.
It's like they have to forget. Every year. "Oh, RIGHT! Snow happens! I guess we shoulda had the salt trucks pre-positioned and sticky brine put down. Oh well. We'll be ready if it happens next week..."
And they will be.
Every year. Every year this will happen in the DC area. Traffic is snarled, too, of course, because of untreated roads and drivers that also forgot how this happens every year.
This is one of the reason I am retiring to Cleveland. First, the land values are much less and I will make a tidy profit trading this house for one up there the same size in a nicer neighborhood. But also I want to live in a municipality with serious, no-nonsense, competent, snow removal.
Come on over to the promised land. The weather sucks, but at least it's on the other side of a mountain range from Mordor-on-the-Potomac.
ReplyDeleteI made the jump this fall. Come on, it's a low bridge, and the water's fine. Except in the Land of Cleve, where it occasionally catches fire.
You could do that or what everyone else is doing and head down here and become FloridaMan.
