Don't neglect the fact that Atlanta got 5" of snow about 12 hours
before Washington got its 15". And that Atlanta simply shuts down when
anything icy falls from the sky. Under icy conditions here, the show
is much more amusing here than it was in DC (assuming that you're dry,
warm, and 100 feet from any motor vehicles). How about we have the
conference way up North somewhere that they can cope with everything up
to and including a blizzard? Then we can just dress up warmly and
ignore the weather :-).
