I have never seen any place on earth so entirely flustered by the sight of snow. It's like DC is snow-challenged or something ridiculous along those lines. No plowing systems. Instead there are these small, incompetent bulldozers that scrape a full five-feet's length of snow up off the ground and heap what little they managed to gather onto the back of a dump truck. Three bulldozers working at a time clearing off one little portion of the main road.
Meanwhile, the US government has chosen to shut down and hey, you forget that we're in America. If the federal government is closed, why should anyone else have to go to work? My fellow interns and I have been trapped in the Hamptons for four whole days, an entrapment reinforced by the metro that has been closed this entire time. Let's just say that the living inhabitants of this sixteen-floored apartment building have already exhausted what little shared, common spaces are made available to us: the gym and the laundry room. Stuck, and beginning to experience the more minor symptoms of claustrophobia. Oh yeah, one more thing. Did you know? DC is expecting another 10-20 inches of snow tomorrow to Wednesday afternoon. (We've already gotten two feet of snow.) So what the heck. Where's the rum gone?
