MILLION DOLLAR BLIZZARD: [Washington DC] Police Chief Cathy Lanier, asked how many tickets were issued during the city's recent snowstorms to cars parked on snow emergency routes, answered "about 4,000." At $250 each, those 4,000 tickets generated $1 million in revenue for the D.C. government's coffers.

What's next? A cloud-seeding program to make it snow more often?
