Yes! It finally snowed in D.C. lastnight! While we’ve had a few “snow spits” here and there – including a lil’ storm all the way back on October 31 – nothing has really stuck to the ground very long to be considered true snow (at least to our midwestern hearts here).
Well, last night – after we attended a fun, but frustrating Washington Wizards game (lost 108-104 to the Denver Nuggets) and a riot at the Riot Act Comedy Club (Josh Blue is well worth the money!) – it was snowing! It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been in a big city during snowfall (if I ever had, Minneapolis in January twenty years ago comes to mind). This morning, the snow stuck…though it’s admittedly a bit wimpy for the storms I’ve been used to before. That said, I’m glad it’s not that bad – I’ve heard terrible things about D.C. driving in rough weather…
It was pretty wimpy, even for DC standards. It’s what I call an “ornamental snow”: it looks pretty but it doesn’t mess anything up.
I’m still waiting for the famous February blizzards…though I’d hate it to affect our big travel plans for next month…knock on wood there!
