helen99I'm really glad this happened.
There had been talk for several years of water shortages - this should clear that up, especially if it melts slowly and seeps into the ground, thoroughly saturating it for spring. Also, the malaria and W. Nile mosquitoes will be beaten back quite a bit by this, and hopefully a lot of birds will be saved. Not only that, it brought the entire DC area to a badly needed halt. The people around here needed to sit and contemplate the relative unimportance of their priorities compared to the planet having a minor case of dandruff. Finally, it lessened the chance of success for a bio-attack (not that I believe any of the media's recent predictions).
And it stopped before it caved in my roof (that would have sucked)...
