The Washington Post

April Fools’ storm creates winter wonderland in New England, knocks out power for thousands

Dude, that's the Washington Post—the Post of Washington, DC, we're talking about here, the very Washington DC that is reputed to faint dead away at the very idea of snow, the prediction of snow, not to mention the white, fluffy stuff its ownself, suddenly going all Norman Rockwell about snow dropped on us, the amount of which, although just barely worth mentioning in this year of friggin' endless winter with piles of snow up to friggin' here, would by all accounts would be enough to send DC into meltdown mode. Not to mention, what's so friggin' wonderland about thousands of people being without power on a day when the high is going to be around 36º degrees or so, never mind how everything's going to freeze solid overnight.

Although, now that you mention it, this does quite possibly go a long way toward explaining why the cost of fuel oil's so high and why assistance for the folks who can't afford it has been cut.

Jerks.
