Snow Day! Snow Day!

The city of Washington, DC experienced a big snow storm over the weekend. The big blizzard of 2010 they are calling it. It is now Monday, it stopped snowing on Saturday! Why the hell aren't the streets plowed, salt put down, and public transportation running properly?! Grrrrrrr!!!! Now I don't mind the snow days, because classes got canceled today and tomorrow. But the problem with being snowed in in DC, is that you are really snowed in! Nothing is open! And the metro trains are only going to stops that are underground, which limits where you can go. Today I was waiting for a train for over an hour! This is unacceptable! Esp when it snowed over 48 hours ago! I feel like the snow is a problem here for one reason only, the officials of DC don't prepare for the snow! Instead of putting salt down, and getting the plow trucks out and people shoveling as soon as the snow stops, or even when it is coming down, people decide to raid and loot stores! I swear people in DC are acting like this is Y2K! Shheeessshhh!!!
I went into Target today and the shelves were completely empty! There wasn't even the basics like bread, eggs, and milk! It was all gone! This is sad, very sad!
Although I am from Chicago and we get snow frequently we haven't had this much snow in Chicago in a while. We got 22 inches over the weekend. We don't usually have snow days in Chicago, because as soon as the storm hits, the trucks are out plowing and salt is being thrown down. Schools are still open and people still report to work, snow does not stop nor slow anything down! Snow does NOT equal anthrax! Which is exactly how people in DC are acting right now!
My dear friend LaKendra, who also attends Howard and is also from Chicago put in best when she stated, "Dear D.C. seriously... This snow could have been gone, instead of fretting when you found out the storm was coming, you should have been preparing. Throw down some rock salt before the snow so it wont stick when it comes! Plow the roads after snow has landed! First it was how to run a country now its how to handle snow...Must we Chicagoans teach you everything?!"
And I agree!
Now DC, we gon give you one more chance to make this up to us! It's suppose to snow another 6 to 10 inches tomorrow night into Wednesday afternoon. The city knows this snow is coming, lets do something to prepare for it! Lets get the trucks rolling and the salt down as soon as the first flake falls! Now I really hope they are able to get things under control, because both I and some friends are mine have traveling plans this weekend, we have moves to make. It would sure be nice to be able to follow through with those. I will truly appreciate it Mother Nature, city of Washington, DC and last but not least God. Please make this happen!
