I'm just wary of the ice we'll see tonight once the sun goes down.

But yes, anything over 2 inches and the DC area goes into snow-anarchy. If you aren't driving too slow causing people to slide, you're turned on your roof like a turtle because you figured the $60k SUV you bought is invincible to ice and snow. Or you take your vette out because it's the only vehicle you own and get stuck 17 times within 2 miles of your house.
Always love that. People just don't realize that four wheel drive doesn't mean shit when it's ice. It's just to truck through deep snow and mud. Those people always piss me off.
