a) snowpocalypse
b) snowmageddon
c) snOMG
Despite all of the panic, it turned out pretty gorgeous:
Luckily, everyone I ran into was in good spirits-- snowmadeggon part 2, which is supposed to start any minute now, might be met with some less than happy DC dwellers. Roads have been plowed pretty well-- main roads at least. Side streets are still a bit of a disaster-- only room for one car at a time, with 2 feet of slush and sludge at any intersections! Sidewalks have been shoveled for the most part-- but the plow passing through means climbing a 6 foot snowbank to even get to the sidewalk!
Awesome satellite image from the storm:
The forecast didn't faze me- at first. But even as a true New Englander, I couldn't imagine what over 2 feet of snow would look like in a city completely unprepared for it. It was still snowing when I took the picture below:
Grocery stores were..just a little frenzied:
Cars parked on the street were either completely and utterly covered in snow, or, for the less fortunate, crushed by fallen trees:

Babysitting was cancelled for me on Friday-- all weekend plans were postponed (besides Superbowl plans!), class was cancelled Monday, and I didn't have to go into my internship today because snowpocalypse part 2 is starting mid-day. It's almost certain that I won't intern or have class tomorrow (Wednesday)- and possibly no class on Thursday. Can you believe it!?
With any luck, I'll be shoveled out by March so I can go on my cruise!
