Dear Weather:
Okay.
Enough.
Please stop.
Please.
On behalf of all the Mid-Atlantic states, I am begging.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
I don't care if some Northeastern and Midwestern states see five feet of snow and roll their eyes while laughing. I don't care if this is "Not as bad as X city in the North, which gets this twice a month!" Shut up, I don't want to hear from you. Our cities are not equipped to handle this. This is one of the greatest snow storms in history for the DC Metro area and nobody is used to this and everyone is struggling.
I don't care if I was born and bred in New York state and have lived through five-feet blizzards in my childhood.
I want it to stop. I want it to end. I am scared. I am really truly scared of this. There are people without any power, people who are too weak to shovel their walkways, people who are running out of food and supplies. There are animal shelters running out of dog food and cat food. There are people who are evacuating homes due to collapsing roofs. This is a mess and I don't know how it will be fixed beyond the sun coming out and temperatures slowly rising.
This will stop soon. THIS WILL STOP.
