@ai6yr Yikes. Having been there for snowmageddon, there's a high chance of this event bring significantly worse.

@steamworkgroup Any lessons from that event you wish you knew the first time around?

@ai6yr Hm. 1st that comes to mind is go to the grocery 3-4 days before the storm. People lose their ever loving minds.

2nd, lots of townhome communities do not pay for snow plows or can even get them into those tight places - assuming the equipment is available. Everything just takes so much longer than we with Midwest experience think.

3rd (maybe obvious, but I'm serious), stay off the road. No one knows how to deal with snow since they rarely get to practice and tend to have harder tires.

@steamworkgroup @ai6yr Every time it snows in the DC region, it does so for the very first time in recorded history, and all information on how snow is dealt with in other places becomes instantly unavailable.

@mattblaze @steamworkgroup @ai6yr

it is a well known fact in DC that it mostly never snows there, so there is no need to have any kind of plan or expertise for dealing with snow. except every single winter without exception...

@mattblaze @steamworkgroup @ai6yr That sounds like the first rain in San Diego each year.
