[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - you are comparing apples to oranges.

"A foot of snow in NE" is drastically different than 7 inches of snowcrete. 
Mid Atlantic states don't have the resources. They just don't.  NE states, given their consistent winter weather, do have endless parades of snow plows, dump trucks to haul away snow, a cavalry of workers and contractors. 
The mid Atlantic, not so much.

Plus, ice is a different beast . I'd love to have a foot of snow instead like what NE gets.

Sorry but we do have the exact same type of snowcrete in the Philly area. Almost all went back to school on Wednesday (some even Tuesday). It has sucked every day with the narrow streets/snow banks and only ~80% of sidewalks plowed, but they opened up (even had virtual Mon/Tues for my one daughter). I do agree as you go up the coast the ability to handle the bigger snow storms is better, but Philly isn't super far away and also doesn't really have the big snow budget either. This particular storm was really mismanaged as other posters have pointed out.[/quote]
