"when 2 inches of snow wreaks havoc on your city..."


  

          

so i'm in Baltimore and i'm disappointed in how we handling this little bit of snow. depending on where you are, you could have gotten as little as an inch and as much as maybe 4.

schools are shut down, jobs are giving people late openings and allowing liberal leave, and fools on the road are playing bumper cars. you got clowns driving 5 or 10 miles above the speed limit like aint nothin goin on. then on the opposite end of the extreme, you got fools driving only 5 or 10 miles an hour.

i thought we were better than that. i joked my friends in southern states for buggin out over a little snow and now we doin the same.

what's it like when it snows where you at?

I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

Chicago has, hands down, the best snow removal I've expetienced
Jan 06th 2015

      One thing I realized that helps Chicago out a LOT....
Jan 06th 2015

           yes. but it's mostly about political will.
Jan 06th 2015
20
                having a flat grid system makes the logistics a lot easier
Jan 06th 2015

                     DC has hills.
Jan 06th 2015

County schools shutdown as usual....and the city aint plow
Jan 06th 2015

Jan 06th 2015

Funny thing is the roads were treated but it hit at the perfect time
Jan 06th 2015

as well he should've.
Jan 06th 2015
23
      DC basically has Philly's weather and Atlanta's snow preparation
Jan 06th 2015
24
      agreed.
Jan 06th 2015
31
      The excuse is that they're not used to it.
Jan 06th 2015
25
      it snows there EVERY YEAR.
Jan 06th 2015
26
      The problem is in the surrounding areas, not DC
Jan 06th 2015
32
           none of that is an excuse.
Jan 06th 2015
36
                sounds like you don't know the area that well
Jan 06th 2015
50
                I think it's more the drivers
Jan 06th 2015
56
                it doesn't matter what i know of the area
Jan 06th 2015
61
                DC just isn't the same
Jan 06th 2015
54
                     more bogus excuses.
Jan 06th 2015
62
                          Give an example of the "city" shutting down for 2 inches of snow
Jan 06th 2015
65
                               . . .
Jan 06th 2015
66
                                    That would be the one time that perception may have been true
Jan 06th 2015

                                         the OPM data is a bit better.

Jan 06th 2015

context: how long does it generally take on a clear day?
Jan 06th 2015

Baltimore's (technically) in the south too
Jan 06th 2015
28
wat
Jan 06th 2015
39
technically, we're below the Mason-Dixon line. but nobody really thinks
Jan 06th 2015
43
The Mason-Dixon line is meaningless
Jan 06th 2015
46
      it's meaningless to me. today.but there was some historical significance...
Jan 06th 2015
48
           The only significance it ever held was the MD/PA border
Jan 06th 2015
52
                Fair enough. That aside, the USCB considers MD a southern state
Jan 06th 2015
75
                     Delaware too. Interesting. Mid-atlantic = NY, NJ and PA

Jan 06th 2015

Jan 06th 2015

      She prolly in Cabo or sumthing.
Jan 06th 2015
37
I think it's a mixture of a few things.
Jan 06th 2015
34
Wasn't the amount of snow, more like the lack of treatment
Jan 06th 2015
38
I live in the true north
Jan 06th 2015
