Welcome to Snowpocalypse 2015-16, y'all!

Everybody panic!!

I would rather be in Indiana or Michigan or South Dakota where I used to live with 19" of snow than Virginia or NYC with 19" of snow. Places where it snows that much regularly know how to handle it, they have some place to put it when they clear it, and they have a sufficient budget for chemicals, salt (and in the case of SD, sand) to treat it.

Where the heck are you going to pile 19" of snow when you try and plow it in NYC or DC or Boston? Particularly if like last winter, it happens more than once? The impact on a large urban area or a place like Virginia where it doesn't snow like that regularly is all out of proportion to how we in the Midwest are impacted. Not to mention that those cities are travel hubs that are far busier than anyplace in the Midwest other than Chicago, so a lot of non-residents get impacted.

As far as I'm concerned though, 19" of snow anywhere is a PITA and I'd just as soon not deal with it.

You got the furry hat, and that's all you're getting without a nice dinner and a movie.

I used to have to commute from Chesapeake Beach, MD to DC everyday for work.  On a good day it was about 50 minutes.  I remember once we got an inch of snow and I sat in traffic for 3 hours on the Anacostia Parkway trying to get into DC.  After 3 hours I wasn't even halfway and, at that point, I turned around as soon as able and called in to let them know I would be out that day.

Snow sucks.  DC sucks.  And DC with snow is suck².

Panzer, I used to live in SD also.  I live in a rural area of NW Ohio now.  They know how to deal with the snow, but they don't have the budgets to lay salt everywhere. 

My issue isn't with the areas having to deal with the snow, it's the national news outlets acting like they've never gotten snow before.
