whether there will be weather in DC

Forecasters are predicting sleet and freezing rain, changing to rain through Wednesday morning in the environs of DC, although you never know if the predictions will turn out to be correct until after the fact. The truth is that the people of DC do not like inclement weather, and driving in snow or on frozen streets is something that can send traffic into fits and paroxysms of snarls and back-ups. The climate here is more temperate that where I grew up in Northern Pennsylvania, where driving in snow and ice, sometimes with chains, is second nature. Thanks to Virginia's hunting and gathering skills I have lock de-icer in my leather backpack, just in case.
