I live in NYS. A blizzard that's bad enough that it strands cars here for any length of time is incredibly rare—because we have the infrastructure to deal with snow. I would be willing to bet the DC area actually has that happen more often than anywhere else in the US, because it's among the post populated places far enough north that it gets big blizzards from time to time, but far enough south that its snow-removal (and snow-prevention—eg, salting the roads) infrastructure is fairly minimal compared to places that get lots of snow all the time.
