Snow Mas!

Like Roberto Duran in the famous “no mas” fight with Sugar Ray Leonard, the DC area has proven to be no match for the relentless winter of 2009-10. In offshore facilities design terms, we have experienced two 100-year storms, multiple lesser storms, and lots of snow fatigue!
At BOE headquarters, our low-carbon, renewable energy snow removal system has been seriously tested by the record snowfall, and the planners didn’t take snow-piles (mountains?) into account when they designed our “smart growth” community.
This winter has definitely given a boost to telecommuting advocates. Commuting in these conditions makes little sense for the typical office worker who can work from home. Businesses and government need to fully incorporate telecommuting into their business plans so they can continue operations during snow and other emergencies.
