DC has been hit by another huge snowstorm, just about 6 weeks after the last one. 20-25 inches was the norm around town with this storm, which started Friday afternoon and basically continued for nearly 24 hours. It's stopped now so we are in clean-up mode. I kind of hope they don't get it cleaned up too quickly so we'll have another snow day at work. They let us leave early on Friday as a precaution.
My car is completely covered in snow, as you can tell in the picture on the left. Well, actually, you can't tell which is mine. My car is directly in the middle of the picture. You can see the antenna poking through the snow.
The whole thing is crazy. The city comes to a complete standstill. Well, that is true even with like 8 inches of snow, so you can imagine what happens with 3 times that amount. My street hasn't even been plowed once, which makes no sense to me. I mean, it's not a super busy street but you would think it would have been done once or twice in the midst of the storm rather than trying to get the plow down here to clear 20 inches of snow away at once. My parking lot was plowed a couple of times and appears to be passable, should I decide I want to clear off my car at some point. The sidewalk from my building to the street's sidewalk was cleared a little by my neighbor. I swear she was using a spatula. It was something tiny and it took her forever.
