DC got 23 inches of snow Friday and Saturday. We were SNOWED IN! It's not like after 4 years in Syracuse and 10 years in Massachusetts I can't handle a little snowfall, but the city sure can't. This is the biggest storm that DC has seen in decades and the amount of snow that fell in one storm is the amount that typically falls here all year.
Here's the pic of our backyard from last night. We spent two hours digging out the cars and pathways in our yard, and since there's clearly no public snow removal here either, each neighbor is responsible for the sidewalk and alleyway surrounding their house. When I went to Wal-mart on friday looking for a shovel or salt, they laughed at me. We ended up borrowing from neighbors. What a workout!
Best of all, school is canceled for tomorrow. A fellow teacher bet me that it would be canceled all week. I refuse to believe that, but hey- you never know south of the Mason-Dixon line!
Peace and Love.
