Despite the fact that we’re still digging out; the DC region has survived over three feet of snow over four days and broken the record for accumulation over a single season.
Before we allow this snowstorm to pass into another series of jokes about global warming and political gridlock, there are still a few things I still don’t get:
- Why would anyone think that those winter hats with the pig-tails on them are cute after the age of 5?
- If the only place they have succeeded keeping clear of the snow this entire time is outside of METRO stations; why isn’t the guy coordinating the METRO‘s snow removal running METRO, itself? For that matter, why they heck isn’t he mayor?
- Don’t DDOT, VDOT and MDOT realize that it defeats the purpose if they plow the roads but leave 4 foot mounds of snow at the access points to the sidewalk?
Finally…
- Why, oh why do they insist on playing the “first time riding metro?” message during the morning rush hour, during a snow emergency no one but us crazy workaholics dare ride?
If you can help me answer any of those questions, please feel free to do so….
