1. Wow. Looks like fun. Unless the electro goes out. Then it would

be nice to have a fireplace.
And some firewood. Or a lot of extra furniture.

2. Jesus, Burma.

2 feet?

[Burma Jones]

3. Yep, 2 feet. We were thinking about sending my 3 yo daughter out for a photo

But we were afraid we'd lose her......

I think it's about stopped now, some 25 hours after it started

[Condem]

4. Just beautiful.

Take her out sledding tomorrow. There's a great hill by the Manassas Battlefield.

5. Con, what are YOU doing talking about MANASSAS???

(I live near Antietam now, in Hagerstown, but visiting with friends in Silver Spring. Don't know WHEN I'll be able to get home!)

There was a big storm on daughter's 2d birthday, Jan. 22, '87, and went walking with her, briefly. ALMOST lost her!

7. I lived in DC (Arlington) elleng, from '85-90.

Used to tramp all over those sacred fields. Must have been to Sharpsburg over 50 times. Beautiful after a snow. But then again, everything is.

10. So I guess my 'long term' memory needs a break!

I've never done such, but may spend some time at Antietam. Drove around there recently, but didn't do any real studying. Will work on it.

11. With the sesquicentennial coming, elleng...

...there'll be big doings. The Cornfield at Sharpsburg. Start there. An incredible aura.

6. Very nice pics.

And congratulations on all that snow! Far surpasses our 14 inches of 1-1/2 weeks ago.

Stay safe and stay warm.

8. Beautiful!

I won't see that here. I can dream though.

9. 22 inches in Germantown

Its going to be an all day affair to get my car dug out today...*sigh*

[Condem]

12. Enjoy it TZ!!!

You going to be able to get to work, tomorrow?

[TZ]

13. I dunno.

Here's what I face in the parking lot..


Thats my car between the one dug out and the one totally covered. Plus the streets around my development are about the last plowed. Once I get out of the neighborhood I should be okay. Its that first mile

[Condem]

14. And the sun's out!

Goddamn, it has to be beautiful!

15. my god, you guys never get that much, do you?

the whole of DC must be shut down, eh?


on edit, when you have little kids, that's the first big snow they always remember. I can still remember my first big snow when I was that age!

[TZ]

16. 6th biggest snowstorm EVER

I'm listening to the news saying National airport will not open till noon. And Meto subway is only running underground . My god- they ate saying it might be Weds till the subdivisions are done..

[tigereye]

17. a relative of mine used to live in Buffalo, where they got hit all the time

I seem to remember after he moved to DC, they had a big one down there, too!


Are all the schools closed? The kids are probably thrilled. You guys don't really have lots of snow removal equipment down there, or do you?



We only got 6 inches... pretty standard for the big hill where I live. We always get more than down at the bottom of the hill.

18. Thanks for these pictures, Burma Jones.

Being a desert dweller, I have no opportunity to see such precipitation.


It sure does bring back memories of my childhood in Montana.
