This one is pretty heavy compared to most snowstorms in the area (while not a record, it's the heaviest in a really long time- our winter came all at once), and the anti-snow vehicles and such were thus of insufficient quantity, plus there was enough to apparently be bad for the above-ground metro... but that shouldn't last long, I expect things up and running pretty fast.
I mean, I drove around a bit yesterday, and plenty of side-streets had effectively walls of snow blocking them. Doesn't matter *what* you have vehicle wise, you wouldn't get through. Saw a UPS truck stuck.
It doesn't hurt that it's a weekend, not too much anyway. We're only losing like 2 days of work week.
