Jonas has made into the nations capitol with a vengeance. Twenty to thirty inches is expected. It could not have happened to a more deserving place. Sort of a metaphor for the Republicans who have been in a deep freeze for eight years. The real story here though is the one inch, repeat 1″, that Washington D.C. received on Wednesday. The Mayor failed in her duties which was to salt the streets prior to the once inch storm; havoc prevailed.
