Here’s a WTOP online news article about the snowstorm that began yesterday and still raging this morning:

It seems that a lot of local news outfits are now reporting about the really bad whiteout and the tremendous quantity of traffic accidents (and incidents, too)…
Definitely dangerous out there! And some people are once again experiencing power outages.

A lot of people are apparently barely able to see the traffic in front of them, past their hoods. They are also barely avoiding colliding with the cars in front or behind them because several reckless drivers are motoring around without their headlights on in these blizzard conditions.
Scary!

It’s definitely a mess out there on the roads in the Washington, DC area. At least, it certainly is in many areas in the Northern Virginia region.
If you don’t need to be driving outside, please don’t: leave the roads open for emergency vehicles and the snow plows.
We all know that there are many individuals in the area who enjoy driving during the morning rush hour just for the heck of it: they’re not commuting to work, but they just enjoy congesting the highways and byways to occupy their time, as a twisted sort of pastime. Today is NOT the day to do this, folks.

The investigation on yesterday evening’s Metrorail crash is still ongoing.
Some focus now being spent on determining why the fail-safe software that governs prevention of two trains colliding had failed, vs. mechanical failure, or some combination.

Note how the blizzard warning has been extended until later this evening.
And how odd it is that the story mentions the start of the blizzard warning as 10 AM… since the story was posted earlier today, and just by looking out the window, it’s obvious that the blizzard has been with us already…

Steve, I’m amazed you see such quirks in stories so quickly. I’m glad you pointed it out because I was confused at first by the post on that site.

Thanks! Hope you’re taking it easy at home instead of venturing out!
(I’m guessing that you’re a fellow DC “regioner”…)
