It’s rare for Washington, DC to get one big snowstorm during a winter, but we’re currently at the beginning of a second big storm. The area’s population of emigrants from all over the country combined with the semi-Southern natives means 90% of people living here can’t deal with a few inches of snow let along 12-20+.

The picture above is a prime example. Even if you wanted to be a good neighbor and make sure your sidewalk was not snow-covered and slippery, stores aren’t prepared to get you the equipment you need. When stores do have shovels they’re the kind that won’t get the job done.

People living in Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Michigan, and Iowa are laughing. Not with us but at us, and for good reason.

UPDATE: I’ll give the locals a little slack with this storm since the National Weather Service thinks there’s a good shot it could produce as much snow as the 1922 “Knickerbocker Storm.”
