I never did understand the TP and milk thing. Mind you I did once get snowed into a cul de sca in Takoma Park and it was not fun at all having to hike out for mile with two children who were too young to be left behind alone, so perhaps there is *some* sense to the madness.
My advice -- remember that I drove a taxi in the DC area for years -- is that if you must go out you are better off on an unplowed side road than on a major road populated by DC drivers. Assuming you yourself have some idea what to do in snow, that is. On 12/5/05, Michael T. Tangorre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well the DC Metro area is expecting some snow!
