About that bullshit that DC loses its mind in the snow:
I just came from Missouri where they cancelled (everything) because of 3" with a foot expected.
On that Missouri trip, on the way to the airport, I drove my auto-trans rental car past 2 cars and 2 trucks that had driven into ditches. They were so used to people doing that there was a coding system for it - they tied police tape to the antenna so you would know someone had already ensured there were no people stuck inside.
This only happens in the DC area about ever decade or so. We do not waste money, so we do not have a large fleet of snow removal equipment.
Nobody can drive in ice. This isn't what's going on here today, this is easy to drive in snow, but we are in the land inbetween where we get frozen rain, ice, slush, and that slippery stuff that almost nobody can drive in w/o chains or 4wd...and 4wd isn't that much better on ice.
I travel a lot - and in other cities where snow is common, they have a huge budget for snow removal.

So...I won't tell people to shut the fuck up, but after reading this it is likely if you're whining about dc losing it's mind due to a snowflake or to, you're now saying that knowing it is not true.

I'm annoyed - didn't count on losing metro rail service, I actually did walk to the farmer's market, people are scared of my skeleton ski mask (but Latino males seem to like it), and I'm not with my boo.

However, puppies outside are having a party, I have zombie movies, a big screen, and nacho makings.
EDIT oh and coffee makings. Do I need coffee? No. Now shut up and boil some water.

Ok about the dumbness, the argument for:
Right now a guy is stuck in my parking lot, and while I can tell the people helping push him are coaching him right, he refuses to do anything but continue to spin his wheels to try and get in the parking lot. I am not going to help him. I love to help people, but this guy and his black station wagon deserve to be buried. For the record, I live on a hill with an incline of um...a lot.

I saw a very frustrated Arlington County cop yelling at a woman when I walked to the store. I missed the beginning, but as I passed he was telling her she had to clear the license plate, that the back window was still complete covered, that the snow would blow off and blind everyone else - and he really could give her a ticket. She argued back, and he said "Look, pull over and clean off your car. If you can't do that, then it's real simple - don't drive!" He drove off, and she got out and started palming off her car...in the middle of the street where it was sitting. If he shot her I would have been a witness that it was self-defense.

Just saw my second jogger go by.

I've watched Jet Li and now the zombie Romero movie. Nachos soon. This is a good snow.

Oh and I finally got my charity stuff done. IT TOOK AN ACT OF GOD TO GET ME TO HELP ?
