Ah, winter in DC. That time of year when you could wake to completely clear skies and roads, only to learn that schools and government buildings have been closed on a bad tip from some weathermen. Or you might wake to four inches of snow and ice and find that the city is operating like it’s business as usual. I was hoping Wednesday’s snowfall would stick, but unfortunately it seemed like a lot of smoke and mirrors. After 7 years in the District, I’ve noticed some odd trends in how we respond to varying amounts of snowfall as the winter months wear on. What do you think? Is this unique to our fair city, or not so much?

Let it snow?
