Wow, this is so crazy! Who would have thought that DC would get more snow than New England?? Tricia, you might have been better off in Boston this winter! I was in D.C. last weekend for the mini-storm on Saturday and was shocked to see how slow the response was in terms of plow trucks/salting.
I think I mentioned this before but I heard a presentation by a noted climatologist a couple of years ago and he mentioned that we (US) should expect cold & snowy winters for the next 20-25 years. Apparently, it is some sort of cyclical weather pattern that has something to do with ocean wave/wind patterns in the Atlantic (obviously the details are fuzzy!). Make sure & invest in puffers & snow boots!
