This guy arrived at you, but he brought blizzard at us. I hope to ask him - WHY???
Sakhalin Island is winced, updated reserves of vodka and wait a very bad weather on next two days.

>>Can you imagine such nonsense in Russia? Businesses, schools and work closed over a few snowflakes?

Dear, I can imagine it. We have very hard blizzards at feb and march.

Yes, but life on Sakhalin Island carries on in such conditions! There are no closures and the city does not come to a stand still like in DC. It's great he brought the snow and cold weather. You know I love it! :) And tomorrow we head South where it will be much warmer.

Nope. We have no closures and right now even my best food delivery is work, as I know.
So, I thought about your invitation, and I was very pleased... If US council in Vladivostok will give me a visa - I hope to meet you at Independence day, or (if my visa will be too long to process) - at Thanksgiving day. In 2014 of cource :)

Sure, come! I'll be happy to show you my local area but in summer Washington, DC is very hot and humid. Be prepared. I think Thanksgiving is a better time to visit. It's the end of autumn and fall foliage is beautiful.

"
Gather huge amounts of snow from Moscow, ship it here, and dump it on the streets of DC.

Yes, very simple clima(c)tic weapon :))

Or just spray that substance, iodic silver or how it is called, in the skies so that all dispersed water condenses and falls.
This is routinely used around Moscow in days of important events to unload clouds before they reach the city.

I think that such areas are just not prepared for snow, you do not have winter tyres and some local roads are too steep (at least in Seattle) and cannot be used when it's slippery.

Poor Cathy, someone can call her and ask for assistance in making the weather better...

Climatic attack! It's a brilliant war strategy. :) My car has no winter tires. It's not necessary, but they are extra bad because they're sports/performance tires and there's no traction. We had problems when we traveled in heavy snow last December in New England. We were forced to overnight in Massachusetts because driving conditions became too hazardous in my Audi. Regardless, it was a fun adventure and winter wonderland so I was happy. You can look here about New Hampshire, before you subscribed to my blog. http://peacetraveler22.livejournal.com/9017.html

Вот всё у вас, американцев, неправильно. Our cars have all-season tires :)

Some governors in New England ban all traffic in the time of snowfalls. The police are given the right to take away the licenses from the drivers caught on the roads.

America - land of safety and caution! Sometimes on a ludicrous scale. Oh, I love New England winter. Beauty!

People in Washington, DC don't usually have winter tires. They are not needed here, because it doesn't snow often. However, people in Minnesota and New England States usually have snow tires. In these regions, there's A LOT of snow.

Minnesota... probably the coldest place in the US, right?
My first American manager was from this state and that's why I know about Minnesota Gophers :))

I think Alaska is the coldest, but Minnesota is in the top five. I went to this area as child, but don't really remember it.
