Here’s the part where I tease you about Snow in America
Look you have plows, we have plows, you have vehicles, we have vehicles.
Wrong. That’s a false comparison.
Washington hasn’t had a snowfall close to this for seven years. It doesn’t make sense for Washington (or Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc) to invest in the quantity or quality of plows and trained drivers that you see in Canada, Chicago, Boston, Detroit, etc.
While 3’ of snow in DC is 3’ of snow in Canada (or 91.44 cm if you prefer), they’re not the same. If you live in a place where it’s more commonplace, it’s manageable. As it is, the infrastructure doesn’t exist here to handle this.
Lay off and we won’t tease you during your next heat wave about how you should have more air conditioned houses and buildings.
(I shouldn’t take this personally or even reply. I’m sick of this snow.)
