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.

Or call out for the day or use public transportation.

400hp + RWD + snow and slush = miss guided torpedo

I was on the GW northbound during one snowstorm...took me 35 minutes to get from the Memorial Bridge to just past Spout Run. Why? Because some idiot in his corvette was trying to get up the steep incline after Spout Run. Spinning his wheels the entire way...dumbass should have stayed home.

I saw something similar today with this guy on Powder Mill road. I happened to be right behind him. I got around him and made it to the top of the incline. In my rearview he was completing a 180.

And yes it was a Vette.
