This is a bit salty for the Corner, but I liked it:

Jonah,
Like penises, most people overestimate the size of their snowstorms. They always say how the snow was ass deep, but forget they were 30 inches tall at the time. I know, I grew up in Detroit and lived in SE Michigan for much of my life. I never, NEVER saw a storm that dropped over 18 inches of snow in one fell swoop. Snow removal was part of my professional duties, and tracking snowfall an essential task. We would get 6-8 inch storms, one after another, but that is a completely different thing than 16-24 inches at one fell swoop. The amount of ready equipment, manpower and planning needed to remove that much snow is simply not available in the Mid atlantic, and unaffordable if it were.
Thirty freaking inches of snow? You are gonna look at that s**t for a long time, because there is no way DC can actually remove it. Watch for governments looking to triple their snow removal budgets next year. 15 more inches coming? Go out right now and buy a bunch of booze.

Booze is the one thing I’m stocked up on. It’s green vegetables, pork and beef that we need more of.
