A Sign ?

Washington DC gets a mountain of snow dumped onto it. Surely the ancient Greeks would say that's a sign and punishment from the gods for the colossal hubris in DC that politicians or man can control or influence the climate.

And for me, could I have schadenfreude* in seeing DC get over two feet of snow ... ? With respect the politicians, greenie lobbyists and climate change bureaucrats, that's a big 10-4 ! :-)

But for the common man, nope. I've been in storms that laid down that much snow. It can get bad, especially if one loses power. In built-up areas, there just isn't anywhere to put the snow. I hope they hunker down and help each other cope.
