don't look at me, I'm not going home. :) Keep in mind though that snow removal in this area is pretty poor, so it could be genuinely treacherous.

I did see the salt trucks while I was driving to work, so I think it will be fine by the end of the day.

It's enough to shut us down, too. Having lived in both the north and the south... - Kim Pine Dec 16, 07:26 17
- but, really, most cities don't clean an inch of snow, most start at 3 inches before they do anything. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:28 6
  - I give up, Toronto is clearly superior. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:30 3
    - this has *nothing* do to with Toronto. it has to do with a city that gets snow every year going home early when they expect an inch of snow. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:31 2
      - I am not sure who you are railing at. I think people here are ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:32 1
        
        i'm not exactly railing at people, i'm railing at the excuses coming from a place that gets snow. - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:33
  - My hometown treated the roads ahead of time, actually. - Kim Pine Dec 16, 07:30 1
    - treating ahead is good. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:31
- exactly. Ice storms in your area are a nightmare. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:27
- Right....but I'd imagine an inch of snow down there isn't all that common - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:27 8
  - right. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:29
  - We had it earlier this week. The town basically shut down for Monday and Tuesday. - Kim Pine Dec 16, 07:29 3
    - Oh, ice is a competely different animal. I'll drive in snow, i'll drive in blizzards...i won't bother with ice. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 16, 07:33 1
      - yeah, there was one night in NYC when I drove from Manhattan to Queens on ice ... TERRIFYING. - loosilu Dec 16, 07:35
    - like i said, ice is *entirely* different and very very dangerous. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:30
  - hm, I am not sure DC gets so many, but I guess we'd have to check actual facts. Last year was a freak occurrence. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:29 2
    - you go cross country skiing every year, you, in fact own skiis. you expect snow. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:29 1
      - yes, I am a northerner. I spent every Christmas in Quebec City growing up. and yet, I am terrified of DC drivers in the snow. even ONE INCH. - loosilu Dec 16, 07:31
ONE INCH OF SNOW IS NOT TREACHEROUS. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 16, 07:20 5
- you don't have talk to me like I'm an incompetent snow driver, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:21 3
  - You're a woman. - Bad Elf JaxSean Dec 16, 07:44
  - You are the one who called it treacherous, fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 07:22 1
    - the weather dude said 1-3 inches, could be more, and with zero cleanup, yeah there will be accidents. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 07:22
- Word. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 07:21
