Why do you rush out to the grocery store when it is about to snow?

It has nothing to do with the drivers, people. They need to learn how to properly *AND TIMELY* salt, sand, and plow here.

But they're just too LAZY to go out in the cold! Where it snows all the time, people are up all night plowing so they don't have to shut the place down. Like the Federal Government shuts down - unbelievable!

I don't know where you're getting this laziness crap from. My street was plowed at least 3 times yesterday (that I saw) and the truck woke me up plowing again. My neighborhood is fine and all the major roads are perfectly clear. My husband kept up with the shoveling so our car isn't buried under snow. This terrible at plowing is more of a bad reputation than it is reality.

Last blizzard, I had to call them to stop plowing because they kept sending the plow up and down and our street even though it was perfectly clear!

send them our way! As of Sunday at 10, we haven't seen a plow yet in our Bethesda neighborhood!

That is crazy! VDOT had some insane amount (1500) of plows out and DC had over 300 I believe. I didn't hear anything about MoCo but it's so crazy they haven't been to your neighborhood at least once let alone a few times by now.

I live in Cheverly and they started plowing my street as soon as the snow came; have been plowing about 4 times an hour during the height of the snow. No lazy people here!

I'm in Arlington -- no sign of a plow. As for going to the store, do you really want to know or are you just being snotty. I went because I'd been out of town for 3 days, my husband was insane juggling work and kids, and we had very little fresh food in the house because we usually do our shopping on Saturday. Neighbors went because their flight got cancelled and they had eaten down all the food in their house. Other neighbors had house guests who were planning to leave today but couldn't, so they had to stock up. Two doors down is a Foreign Service family that just moved here from a country in the Middle East and are still living out of boxes and takeout--they needed food. Down the street is a Columbian diplomatic family who have never seen snow. Ok, they may have panicked a bit. Question is ,why do you care?
