that's a wrap: Snow

Back story:
The two recent storms made the 2009-2010 season the snowiest since Washington, DC began recording snowfalls 146 years ago. We ousted the last record (the 1898-99 season) from the #1 spot and we still have a month of winter to go. DCist (among other favorite DC internet sites) began to name the storms... fondly at first as Snowpocalypse and Snowmageddon. Thennnn.... not so fondly... as cabin fever began to get the best of the area.

"I'm Snow Over It" (February 9-10): the aftershock to Snowmageddon, this storm even included a lovely little bonus of 50 mph winds... and shut the federal government for three days.

"Snowmageddon" (February 5-6): they predicted ~~another foot~~ TWO FEET for Snowmageddon... just in time for Mandy and many other brave New York friends to visit for the Villanova vs. Georgetown game. It was mayhem... and I didn't even take photos of the "Lord of the Flies" (thanks for the great reference, Washingtonian) situations in the grocery stores. We still made it to the game though, despite the transportation issues.

In good spirits despite the wait for the Metro (yes that's Luke, Boyk, Amy, Weaver, John, Emma...)

Digging out Ryan's Honda Accord:

And somehow this little DC resident plant survived even without a trip to the grocery store (Storm):

"It's snow big deal" (okay I named this one) January 30 snowfall - small potatoes compared to what was to come! i think it only ended up about 3-6"

"Snowpocalypse" (December 19-20): compared to February's one two punch I guess it's tough to be too impressed, but it did get us a day off from work. That's the Woodley Park Metro, the very first photo taken in DC with my new Nikon.
