Federal employees can take unscheduled leave or telework from home on Wednesday in anticipation of snow expected to fall across the D.C. metro area.

Drivers are inexperienced in snow driving and the road crews do not do the same job they do up north.
I have seen a dusting trash the area. When up in New York it would take 6 to 12 inches for the same impact.

It's not like your area never gets snow, you still get snow a few times a year. Not saying I don't believe you, I have a friend that lives out there and she says that drivers are morons even when the road conditions are good.

I guess they can hole up in the snow shelters until it melts down to a safer 1/2"...
Pussies.

I'll take driving through an inch of snow any day compared to our thunderstorms here during hurricane season in FL.
