esullivan Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Anyone in DC see any roads treated. Nothing has come by Nebraska ave. Not that it will really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His conservatism works great most of the time around DC, but he is usually the last to step up to the plate during the big events. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Just flipped to NBC and they have a scroll going across the screen saying "A tornado watch remains in effect until 2am for the entire metro area." HahahaSnownado! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it will really matter. Strangely, I haven't seen the usual 2" salt on the roads yet in advance, either. Guess there's enough left over from everything they put down earlier in the winter. It will be nice to have a winter where the snow totals will actually be higher than the salt accumulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 'Eff this. I can barely keep my eyes open, so I'm off to bed.

MDstorm Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 And to think that for months I have been hearing the Winter of 2012-13 being bashed to pieces. Don't you all feel a little foolish now. MDstorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravensrule Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I think the smartest thing is to go to sleep for 3 or 4 hours now and then stay up for the rest of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need to train ourselves to wait our turn. Maybe we can get a good pattern going of 2-3 years off and 1 year on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had these temps in Jan/Feb w/ the amount of QPF we are about to get, I can only imagine how depressed the board would be. Then again, things have trended very nicely this afternoon/evening.
