The sidewalks were a little slushy, but as long as you put on your galoshes, you were fine. People need to grow up here and buy some weather-appropriate gear already. Washingtonians are spoiled snobs.
Pretty embarrassing when an entire city shuts down based on an overhyped forecast. They blew the same forecast here in Philly too, but Philly learned their lesson the hard way a few years ago and stayed open this time.
A few years ago overzealous local weather guy (John Bolaris) forecasted a "storm of the century" here. Snow crews were activated, news crews dispatched everywhere, Schools closed, the local gov't shut down only to get no snow at all.
