Back on subject. I heard they had actually salted but it rained and washed most of it off then the rain froze and the snow came on top of it. The east coast or at least that area isn't equipped to deal with such storms as the northern states, mid-west and western states that have bad winters every year. Our daughter used to live in the D.C. area and if there was 2" of snow they'd close down everything. We're from the Upper Midwest---even there people don't drive accordingly, especially early in the season. I suspect all that traffic in this debacle was the usual stuff then add all the snowbirds "flying" south who got caught up in it. I agree---what a nightmare!! I don't know anything about their local government but not sure it was to blame.
