Motorists Encouraged to Stay Off All Roads

ANNAPOLIS, MD – Governor Larry Hogan this evening has ordered the immediate closure of the entire 34.7-mile length of I-270 and I-70 from I-81 in Washington County to the Baltimore Beltway. The highways will remain closed until 7 a.m. on Sunday to all motorists except for emergency personnel. The closures follow snow related traffic incidents involving several tractor trailers and other vehicles on both interstates.

“As the state continues to fiercely fight Snow Storm Jonas, I want the citizens of Maryland to know that the state is taking every step necessary to ensure their safety,” said Governor Hogan. “Closing I-70and I-270 will give us the time needed to deploy all our resources to clear these essential interstates as quickly as possible as we prepare to get our transportation network back up and running. I am urging all Marylanders to stay off every road in the state, whether it’s the interstate or a local road. Stay safe and stay at home while crews do their jobs.”

“Please stay home where you are safe and give us the time and space to our jobs,” said Maryland transportation Secretary Pete K. Rahn. “We can clear snow and ice on an empty highway much faster than one littered with cars and tractor trailers.”

Saturday afternoon, Jan. 22, 2016 4:45 pm: “…Really - everyone ought to stay off the roads unless you are a first responder. I've been doing this stuff for 45 years and I have a heavy 4-wheel drive truck and even I have just stayed home. This stuff is for the young responders... Some days I feel my age. Some days I know my age.”

At a time when many Americans have lost faith in government and our government’s ability to do anything with any degree of integrity, capability, or competence, comes the snowtastrophe Wednesday night in the capital of the free world, the most powerful nation on earth, Washington DC.

Read: Forget ISIS. The most powerful city on earth can’t handle a dusting of snow. By Petula Dvorak Columnist January 21 at 11:51 AM https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/forget-isis-the-most-powerful-city-on-earth-cant-handle-a-dusting-of-snow/2016/01/21/7e1a7a7a-c04d-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html

And Hilarious Memes Emerge After Inch of Snow Paralyzes DC Area, By AVIANNE TAN Jan 21, 2016 - http://abcnews.go.com/US/hilarious-memes-emerge-snow-paralyzes-dc-area/story?id=36421982

Or: An inch of snow, icy roads unleash 9 hours of traffic chaos across D.C. region By Fred Barbash and Justin Wm. Moyer January 21, 2016 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/21/an-inch-of-snow-icy-roads-unleash-9-hours-of-traffic-chaos-across-d-c-region/

I received first-person testimony by a family member who spend 3 hours on the road in the paralytic chaos that was Washington last Wednesday night in what might normally take 30 minutes.

No amount of hype or hyperbole can exaggerate how incompetent the response to barely an inch of snow last Wednesday in Washington DC.

Not to be overlooked is the reputation of the Washington DC metro subway system. Words such as unsafe, unreliability, unpredictable, and unreliable come to mind. SMH.

Whether it is providing healthcare to veterans, providing safe drinking water, or punishing the innocent when they get on an airplane, government has proven to be incompetent and incapable of the even of the smallest, simplest, and easiest tasks. Look at the bloated bureaucracy that has swallowed the postal system.

Look at the government regulations that have over-bureaucratized the financial industry and sickened healthcare reform. Government has brought financial institutions and the medical health care delivery system to its knees with the extra costs and counter-productive and conflicting regulations that have increased the costs of delivering these vital services to Americans through the roof.

These days big government cannot get anything right. We should all be ashamed.

Meanwhile Petula Dvorak wrote about the response by the capital of the free world to less than an inch of snow last Wednesday night.

Forget ISIS. The most powerful city on earth can’t handle a dusting of snow. By Petula Dvorak Columnist January 21 at 11:51 AM https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/forget-isis-the-most-powerful-city-on-earth-cant-handle-a-dusting-of-snow/2016/01/21/7e1a7a7a-c04d-11e5-bcda-62a36b394160_story.html

She wrote, “As we’ve proved before, we’re not good at snow. And on Wednesday night, we proved it again in utterly humiliating fashion, morphing from a powerful city of powerful people into a demolition-derby, wagon-training cold mess.

A one-inch snowtastrophe involving at least 1,000 accidents, eight-hour commutes and cars abandoned on freeways by desperate, disgusted commuters. Some people hadn’t even made it home by dawn Thursday.

[An inch of snow, icy roads unleash nine hours of D.C. traffic chaos]

It was a nearly perfect deja vu of a light snow in 2011 that generated epic Twitter travelogues of misery. Only difference this time? It was more fun to Snapchat the whole calamity.

[…]

We’re all worried about ISIS when the truth is, all it takes to destroy us is a little ice.
