People just honestly don't know how to handle snow when they haven't been around it. It's just powder in your way crazies!

I moved to the D.C. area nearly two years ago and even though I’m originally from NH and have lived in Maine I have never experienced a storm as severe as this one. Not because I haven’t seen this much snow at once, I certainly have, but because of how ill-equipped this area is to handle a snow storm. We are not far enough south to justify such a total lack of preparedness. Snow plow drivers are poorly trained and for some reason travel in packs of 12-15 on one side of the highway taking hours before ever touching the opposing lanes. Vehicles are allowed to be parked on the streets making it impossible to clear all the lanes for traffic. Four lane roads have been reduced to one lane, but people still drive as though they have all the room in the world. Maintenance crews refuse to snowblow walkways and the property managers aren’t bothering to have the apartment parking lots properly plowed. People digging their vehicles out of the snow will simply pile it in front of other people’s cars. If it weren’t for our 4wd truck there would be no way for us to even get out of the parking lot.

Our town was cut off from the rest of the world for a few weeks due to snow and rock slides. The only full grocery store in town collapsed due to snow on the roof. Every bit of food from the gas stations disappeared and for awhile our shelves were completely bare. Serious snowpocalypse. (it took almost two weeks to dig a tunnel to our neighbors house. I can’t remember how long it was before we could make it to town) The thing I remember most was that one of the things we ended up with a lot of was egg nog, so we started drinking that for meals. It ruined store bought egg nog for me

So even a guy over 120 lbs is fat? Maybe if you’re in Jr. High!

Nope, he got victim treatment, got his pics taken to show my ‘assault’ even though I have gorilla bruises. I had court the next morning, and they let me off, since the cops that showed up knew me. It was a token arrest.

Well thats no good. Did drunk dude go to jail, or at least get his ass kicked?
Here’s hoping they drop charges.

How highly you think of me, and how harshly I will let you down. No, some dude followed me to my car, drunk, and I told him in no uncertain terms to leave me alone. So I got a friend o join me next time I came to my car, and he started grabbing, so I punched him. I still have nasty bruises on my arm. I got arrested for throwing the first punch even though he was being grabby and following girls around at night. Makes sense.

[...] Those of you who have lived in the tundra need no further explanation. To those of you who have never had the pleasure, much like the proverbial singing of the operatic ”fat lady,” here in snowpocalypse territory, it’s not over until the meterologists have incited hysteria in the general public.

Ha. You guys think that is bad? I’m from Texas. We close schools if there is 1/10th of an inch of ice or snow. xD Then again, we also see a tornado going through the city next to us and just nod. Every place is used to it’s own weather. All the Canadians and yanks talking about how they were pussies to stock up like that are hypocrites. I hear you guys complaining about heat waves when its barely 100 degrees outside. Pffft.

What kind of bird doesnt fly!
Well, at least you didn’t get shanked. (I hope)
Saying it was worth it makes me think you were vigilanting in your combat boots, saving hookers,, or throwing red paint on fur cladded women. am I close?

Shamefully, yes. I may not think so further down the road, but it was well worth it.

I had the pleasure of spending a winter in Moscow and currently reside in Chicago…both have some of the most brutally crappy winters you could ever experience.
