Do you think that they get much snow there either? Actually, the local weather men have been pointing out that DC tends to average about 20 inches of snow fall a winter, and that this is comperable to what several cities to the north of us get. The problem is that the average DC resident (and particularly the District government) prefer to think that they only get about 5 inches of snow a year. Both Virginia and Maryland suburbs recovered from all the snow several days before the District did. -- eric ...!seismo!mimsy!aplcen!osiris!eric
