Right, we've never had snow and cold in Virginia before.

One storm is not a trend.

I'm almost willing to bet that storms will get progressively worse in the next few years.

I think we all are willing to bet on your side.

People will kitt out their cars after this, but having lived in PA, NY and DC I can firmly say that in PA and NY I owned a brush, had water in the car and the like.In DC I legit brushed it off with my gloves.

6" was enough to just not go to work.

Interesting. The West Coast got a TON of snow in the last couple of weeks and this did not happen. The point is, over-confident and under-prepared humans are not a proxy for the evils of climate change. Let's not get too carried away. Climate change is new and it's real. Human stupidity? Much more established and reliable.
