The University of Maryland has already decided to close the university tomorrow, which means canceling commencement and the last day of exams, because it's supposed to snow. No, it's not snowing yet. But it might. Later.

I know it's cliche in DC to deride the natives and their inherent inability to deal with wintry precipitation, but honestly! :P

And now back to my regularly scheduled apartment cleaning. Blergh.

As someone who grew up in that area, then moved to upstate NY, and now lives in Boston... I laugh at Maryland. Laugh.

(Of course, I had the reverse ARE YOU INSANE reaction when I first got to Syracuse, and discovered that they never had snow days. EVER. Not even when there was snow nearly up to my waist.)

I'm really amazed that we've actually had a HUGE amount of snow today... and although people in this region don't handle it as well as they could, at least there's an excuse.

But buying out all the milk, bread, and toilet paper in the local grocery stores isn't the most useful reaction.
