We got about 4 inches and we closed down! Turns into a holiday!
Bozzy - NO KIDDING! People in Northern Virginia can't drive anyways (many of them haven't had to take behind the wheel, etc, because they moved here after they were 18) so traffic laws that I got so used to driving by are ignored. If you can't beat em -- join em!
I've come to the conclusion that people are bad drivers no matter where you go, it's just amplified with bad weather. I really don't know how some people have a license.

i have a theory that has yet to be disproved...
in the DC area, a person's IQ can drop up to 20 points when there is inclement weather, making borderline people retards...
people going way too slow to keep up with traffic, SUVs going the speed limit or faster because they bought their monster for the specific reason to go as fast in good weather as bad, and those morons who are too f'ing lazy to totally clean off the car.
it's quite frightening to drive around here...i came into work today because I worked from home on thursday and friday (friday because i had to renew my tags and driver's license)...but if there is any chance of snow, i usually try to work from home so i don't have to deal with the morons.

Exactly. People with 4WD think their cars are invincible. YES, you may be able to have a BIT better traction but that doesn't mean you will slide any less if you have to slam on your brakes for being an asshole.
