Digging out from the snowstorm
Washington DC is finally starting to dig out from back-to-back snowstorms – and I’m finally getting out and about again. Last night around 6:30 pm, after almost three full days cooped up inside, I just had to get out. I bundled up, called my friend Allison and told her I was walking over to her house. The first thing I saw when I walked outside was a man shoveling snow off his car by standing on his car (picture above).
Today I worked out of my office for the first time all week. I actually ran to work because 1) I figured it would be faster than the Metro, which is running trains few and far between and 2) I wanted to see what the city looks like. Washington DC looks beautiful! Like a white maze. In the afternoon I trekked to our roof to take a picture of the intersection of 16th St. and K St. (picture below). You can see the White House and the Washington Monument in the distance.

A snowpocalypse is barreling toward DC for the second time this winter. Isn’t that a funny word – “snowpocalypse”? This photograph was from last week’s storm, which apparently was not a snowpocalypse. At least I didn’t hear anyone call it that. This storm will be the third snowfall this week! I’ve always lived in mild-to-hot climates so I think this will be the most snow I’ll have ever seen fall in a seven-day period. I can’t wait to make snow cream, build snowpeople, watch movies, read books and do a little work.
