D.C. Snowpocalypse



Snowmageddon. Snowoverit. We're calling the DC blizzard of 2010 all of these. The big news is that a week of cabin fever provoked me to revive this blog. We had our first snow day a week ago. That was a minisnow, hardly worth mentioning now. Then last Friday we got this - the first 20-ish inches.



A tree fell at our edge of Rock Creek Park.



The instantly traditional DC 30-somethings snow fight was on in Dupont Circle. On Sunday, neighborhood friends walked over for chili, cornbread and the Superbowl. Go Saints! My favorite commercial was Punxsutwaney Polamalu. Go Steelers!

Monday was a day with no new snow. We went out to check out the neighborhood.



Other people had fun with shovels.



Fortunately I didn't have to use my bus stop.



We had burgers and fries at Nanny O'Brien's. The big news there is that they are completely out of veggie burgers and running low on ketchup. Let's hope for a delivery soon! (Just pretend this terrible photo is a great special effect.)



Everything stayed closed on Tuesday. And now, the Wednesday whiteout and another 10-20 inches. A news report says so far DC fire fighters have responded to five fires, 20 collapsed roofs and delivered 6 babies.



It is beautiful.
