I find it funny how you describe DC as 'shutting down'... I've always been pretty well impressed with the efficiency in which the streets get cleared, even in the areas outside the city.. SOMD isn't /as/ good with theirs, but I was still impressed with it.
Of course I am coming from the south and you are coming from the north, so there's the difference in perception. In the south, there is no street clearing... you just don't leave your house!!!
It's the same on the west coast though too...
I dunno it's just funny to me.. because I find the southern states and west coast (like Portland) to be laughing stocks when it snows.. not DC.. I think DC is pretty darn on top of things, but I've never lived anywhere further north than this.. Still, for as little snow as we get, I'd say we manage it quite well.
