Accumulations of snow vary widely throughout the nation's capital, reportedly ranging from 15 to 30 inches.
Amazingly, the normally next-to-useless District of Columbia government is actually making an effort to provide services during the Great Snowpocalypse of 2010.
Just past midnight, I captured on video a DC fire department truck's valiant struggle to climb a grade in Northwest.
View the video at YouTube.
Note that the crackling, popping noise you hear on the audio portion is the sound of snow falling on the camera.

Perfect, just perfect metaphor for the state of governance in this fair land. A foot of snow falls in Duluth, Minneapolis, Eau Claire or Rice Lake[8000 souls, give or take] and the stuff is removed and the populace drives on. Literally and figuratively in jig time. No one calls the national news....no one calls the national government. Damn few would consider it remarkable enough to you tube this sorry spectacle of the handicapped fire-engine. Same with the whole federal monstrosity. Talks a big game;makes mock of the little folks, and falls totally apart in the clutch. What a laugh.

Don't think you understand how YouTube works; person+ camera+questionably interesting footage=youtube video. It's news when a big storm hits any Eastern city because the large population mass and the irregularity of the storms make it difficult to cope with, thus temporarily shutting down the city. Big snow out in the places you mentioned don't become news because they are so regular. You can draw your mixed metaphors from the clip, but the fact that you don't realize that there are "little folks" in DC too is the real metaphor. But I agree this is a weak post by AS.
