Another Washington Snow Storm... Another Mess and More Power Outages

Another Washington Snow Storm... 

Another Mess and More Power Outages

Well, that was a lot worse than it looks like many expected. We've been hearing horror stories from our associates, family, and friends about 3-5 hour commutes home, people getting stuck and abandoning their cars on the highways, downed power lines, and thousands of DC & Maryland residents still without power. After all the hoopla that was made post-snowpocalypse 2010, concerning Pepco's response and preparation to last year's big storm, you would have thought our city planners would have been more prepared for what has turned out to be a hard-hitting, but less severe winter blast this year. What do you think? Did DC/MD/VA do a well-enough job responding to all the snow this year? Or do you think everyone's just overreacting? Share your thoughts, comments and snow horror stories in our comments section!
