Forecasters are calling for yet another winter storm to hit Columbus today, with total expected accumulation of another 8 inches of snow. From this morning’s stroll it appears that the leading edge of the storm is already here, with a brisk wind flinging little icy bullets against the intrepid walker. So, we will batten down the hatches, leave for work a little earlier, and drive a little slower today.
As a former D.C. resident who remembers how the Nation’s Capital freaked out over even a few inches of snow during the early ’80s, I’ve been wondering about how D.C. residents are dealing with the aftermath of the historic storm that dumped some 30 inches of snow on the area last weekend. It sounds like some things haven’t changed; I’ve heard a few news reports of worried residents binge-buying milk, bread, eggs and bottled water from local grocery stores upon reports of this new storm approaching. So, no matter what happens, they’ll be able to enjoy a hearty brunch.
