The McBournie Minute: Snow

Over the weekend the D.C. metro area finally got its first snow of the season. It was actually more freezing rain than anything. For those of us who were lucky enough to be driving in it yesterday, it was an experience.

What's interesting is that in this part of the world, people know they will see snow at some point, it may not be as common as places farther north, but it's not like they've never seen it before. One would think that these people would have some sense of how to drive in the not-so-great conditions on the road.

One would be wrong if one thought that. People are idiots. The most that fell was only a couple inches at most, but cars were off the road everywhere, not that there were any salt trucks or plows. Maybe I am just used to driving in the winter because I am from New England, but the roads were not even that bad.

Alright, I'm done complaining. Time to scrape the car off again.
