I live in the DC area and had to take my step-daughter to the ER Saturday evening. Needless to say the roads were a complete and utter mess. After we got to the hospital one of the nurses asked us how we got there, and I mentioned the Jeep. She said, "That's how I got her too!" Apparently, group of Jeep owners were shuttling hospital personnel back and forth from home to local hospitals all day. I wonder if it was this club. I thought that was a pretty cool thing for those guys to do. Kudos to them!

Here's what we were working with in the DC area. This was on Saturday afternoon about 6 or 7 hours before the storm finally let out. I had already shoveled my driveway a few times by now:

That's pretty cool. Being a transplant from Virginia to Utah, I'm still amazed at how unprepared Virginia as a whole is for weather. We were lucky if the interstates were being plowed by mid day after a snow storm and I never saw a neighborhood get cleared.
Here we can get 8" overnight and by the time I'm walking down to my office by 6:30am, the plow has already cleared our neighborhood roads.

Ya, they really had trouble first just keeping up, because the storm was dumping close to an inch an hour, and then they had trouble with where to put it all. I would say where I lived we got 30 inches in 36 hours by the time it was all said and done. Luckily, we topped 50 degrees yesterday, so I've seen most snow piles shrink by quite a bit.
