my good friend in d.c. sent over these pictures of his neighborhood covered in snow. these were taken a couple of days ago after some areas got 25 inches. i’m pretty sure they’ve gotten more since then. in the last picture, those humps are actually cars buried under snow.

being a southerner, i’ve really never seen snow. especially snow like this. i remember once when i was probably 5 years old we had snow flurries during the night, but by the time i woke up, it was nearly all gone. my sweet grandmother had gone out and made a miniature snowman and stuck it in the freezer so that i could see it when i woke up. i remember taking a picture with it and i was all bundled up my thick pink jacket and rubber boots. boy, i can’t imagine living in a place that sees snow every year.

especially blizzards like this!
