They probably won't need you, I just heard for the second time a very earnest news reader quote the DC mayor saying that they had 100 trucks and 39 TONS of salt, so they're good:D I think the same news reader said that France produces 20 million tons of fois gras (goose/duck liver) every year, somehow I think the figures are meaningless if it's not the distance between NY and DC, and they might not even get that within an order of magnitude.

By the time I could get there it would have melted.

You drive all the way from up by the Canadian border down to Maryland for snow?

Snow is good money there. Hell I drove a skidsteer down my street when we had a 2' snow doing driveways for tips only, free if they didn't have money or didn't offer and made $200/hr.
