Oh, WMATA.

I always thought that the area's "OMG TEH WITE STUFF!!!!" policy of closing schools every time there might possibly be snow somewhere on the Eastern Seaboard represented the height of overreaction.

Until I saw this:

Oh, Metro. Really? All that for a wet floor? A wet floor that isn't even visibly wet? On a day when it's going to intermittently pour?

Really?

Could it be that Metro is being proactive and preventing the unsuspecting horde from into an area that might be wickedly, dangerously wet? Since, after all, people do fail to realize that wet shoes and slick tile are a slippery combination.

Nah, it's more like the time Fairfax County closed schools (true dis)when it was 45 deg and partly cloudy.

Having nearly killed myself on those slippery Metro tiles several times, I don't necessarily think the Metro is overreacting. Better idea? Put in some tiles that don't get as slick as ice as soon as there's any moisture. Seriously, I think I almost wiped out once when someone spilled a soda.

rob: proactive is a couple of pylons, not the fences.

kelly: again, I can see the cones; the cones are proactive. The fences are ridiculous.
