Washington, D.C. had a giant snow storm this weekend. It was crazy!
Friday went by real quick. We got out at 2:00 pm because the snow was starting to stick and the roads were rapidly getting bad. Grocery stores were crazy because they wouldn’t be open all weekend. People were ridiculous, and every place was so crowded.
A few of us stayed up until the snow got deep enough to play in. At about 11 o’ clock, the snow was already blocking the door enough to make it hard to get out. It was so fun! None of the snow had been touched yet and it all looked so fresh! We met up with some of the street workers who were plowing the snow while we were taking pictures in the middle of the street. They told us where some good hills were for sledding. That was definitely a must for the next day.
Saturday was amazing! The snow was sooo deep! It ended up snowing about three feet. It went higher than my knees when we were walking. Annalyse (another tech intern who is also my roommate) bought a sled earlier this week. We all shared it and walked down the street to a giant hill. It was the first time I have ever been sledding. It was so fun! What was even more comical was that the five of us girls were laughing and looked like we were having more fun than all of the little children around us.
Tree branches were breaking left and right because there was so much snow on them. Some trees were blocking the middle of the street and sidewalks because they were hanging so low. In one of the pictures I took, you can see how much snow is piled up everywhere. There are cars on the side of the street, that from a distant look like little hills of snow. After going out in the snow all morning, the rest of the day we were stuck inside. Nothing was open at all. DC literally shut down. To stay entertained, we had a Glee marathon and watched the whole season on DVDs. The guys on our floor didn’t it like it so much though.
Lori, Juliet and I also walked to the Capitol to see what it looked like covered in snow. It was so pretty and peaceful. Everyone that we saw outside were mostly over at the Capitol. Though the walk was definitely hard in the deep snow, it was sure worth it.
Today, everyone is getting chores done, getting more groceries because some stores opened back up, and are getting ready for the Superbowl. Our floor is having our own Superbowl party. We are having enchiladas, pepper poppers, queso, and much more. Everyone is pitching in so we can have a great time tonight.
To add to the very fun weekend, I don’t have to work tomorrow because of the snow! I hope you enjoyed all of the pictures in the very deep snow!
Until next time,
