Ahhhhh, snow!
Yep. It’s still snowing. And here in DC MD VA area, we are still whining about it snowing. Apparently to the amusement of most of the country, including Jimmy Fallon, who is stunned to find out that a few inches or 6 can shut down all the area schools, county governments and yes, the Federal Government as well. Hey, no one knows how to panic in a snowstorm like the DC Metro area does. Even though we know that February is traditionally our snowiest month of the year, we still act surprised that it will, in some cases, actually snow here. Our meteorologists go into commando mode, staying over night and generally looking like they tied one on because they are sleeping at the office trying to gather every last bit of data they can that will tell us, that there will be a chance of “measurable snow” heading towards us. We have even been known to cancel school when there is no snow because they said it was coming our way.
Yes, that’s right. Schools cancelled because of the “threat” of snow. Why are we surprised that Boston and other snowbound cities are calling us on our perpetual winter state of wimpiness? We are wimpy about snow and we should embrace that about ourselves! We can empty grocery and liquor stores faster than you can say approaching cold front. Take that, Boston, with your seven FEET of snow! We are airlifting groceries to people even now because of ice and snow! We have a Metro system, very pretty one at that, that seems to feel that it belongs in Miami and only runs under appropriately warm weather conditions. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find our polar bears at the National Zoo are complaining that they need ear muffs and larger latte’s. Even my DC Metro Romance Meet up got cancelled, except for some hardy authors, (looking at you, Pearl Love, TC Blue and Marguerite Labbe) who scoff at such weather conditions. You are my heroes!
