18" of snow = shutting down and canceling the game: 69

Could have changed the second part to .18" and it still would have been accurate.

This is from today's Washington Post and is a bit of a reality check on how the mid-Atlantic, ACC types, handle a dusting, let alone (dramatic pause) SNOWPOCALYPSE!!! This is not from the Onion, it is front page headline story in the Washington Post. Seriously, ONE INCH of snow paralyzed THE REGION.

Headline- An Inch of Snow, Icy Roads Unleash 9 Hours of Traffic Chaos Across D.C. Region

“Horrible.” “Pathetic.” “Painful.” “Unbelievable.” “One inch of snow did this.”

From every corner of the region and into the wee hours of the morning, from every highway and byway, motorists vented their anger and frustration that they were still out there — at 1 a.m., then 2 a.m. and still at 3 a.m. — because of ice and untreated roads, from a modest early-evening snowfall that came and went in a few hours.

As the beginning of the morning rush hour approached, there were still reports of hazardous conditions and road blockages in many areas.

The detritus of the long commuting ordeal — scores of cars abandoned on and around the shoulders of highways — could complicate the drive to work for those unfortunate enough to have to make it.

It was Washington’s familiar post-apocalypse look, minus the apocalypse, a bewildering sight to those accustomed to more frigid climes.

[Capital Weather Gang: We are not blameless in this]

And the scene proved once again (though no proof was needed) that Washington, when taken by surprise, is woefully unprepared, not just for a blizzard but for any “snow event.” It also showed how little it takes for the region to descend into a long night of traffic chaos: more than 1,000 reported fender-benders (unofficial numbers via Waze), six- and seven-hour trips home, jammed arteries and impassably frozen exit ramps.

Living three hours east of Toronto I certainly understand. I lived in that area for a few years and they really don't get that much snow compared to us in Eastern Ontario. Two feet of snow will effect any big city of 3-4 million regardless if you have the proper facilities like Toronto or not.

If you guys aren't leaving for C'ville tonight, then you're not going to leave. We were just notified our 5 PM flight out of BWI scheduled for tomorrow has been cancelled. I can't imagine the conditions at C'ville's airport will be any better than at BWI. We were going to Disney, too!

I have experienced the same. I probably grew up a bit further east on the St. Lawrence than you. Spent my university and adult years in Ottawa (now) and in Toronto.

After they called in the Army when they had snow some years back, can't resist taking shots against them.
