NBC's Brian Williams on DC Drivers' Strange Fear of Precipitation

brian-williamsBrian Williams was in town last night to host The Friars Foundation’s Lincoln Awards at the Kennedy Center, but took a moment to stop by WRC-DT’s 6 p.m. local news with Jim Vance and Doreen Gentzler.

Prompted by Vance’s comments regarding DC going “berserk” yesterday after three to four inches of snowfall, Williams began mocking the area’s drivers for their fragility in inclement weather (justifiably so).

I mentioned that on ‘Nightly News’ last night. I called your streets delicate because about a third of my life — this is to you ladies and gentlemen of the district and the surrounding area — I remember cars being abandoned on Rock Creek Parkway in a rainstorm.
