Little Snow in DC - and continues...
Little after 8:30AM...
Some snow, a downed tree, having a cup of coffee, getting worked up to go outside. Wish I had Jocke's Snow Blower or JJ's HOT AIR to melt this down ! Two stogies and Glenfiddich to help me through the day! |

Looks like heavy wet snow...be careful clearing.
Biggest problem in DC and Balto is that there is nowhere to actually plow the snow - narrow streets - they have to truck it out. Takes weeks.

Before I get started
I am glad it has only snowed about 12 inches, because I am nearly out of the 15 inches' bottle.

Wow, nice photos. Been following the storm activity here from CA and noticed that the DC Metro has stopped above ground rail service.

I hear you about the snow! I was late getting ready today so my hair literally was icicles when I was outside going to work. I looked like Medusa

Thanks, Dave! And yes, I could definitely use a chinook right about now to warm up the city a little. The frozen trees look pretty, but that wind sure is mean!

Add some 15-year Solara Reserve and I'll be there! Then again, like Safetrends, this Florida Native doesn't do snow!

Love the snow..but hell of a lot of work..... not to mention the heating expense (over 1K this month....I have 4 heat pumps and a large gas boiler for our water radiators)...
I do have small kids and keep it at 74.......

Snow is fun, unless you either have to work in it or around it!
