Snowpocalypse
Feb/09/10 09:11 AM
I survived the storm of the century for D.C.- Snowpocalypse 2010. After getting over two feet of snow during the past few days, they’re now calling for another 10-20 inches for Tuesday through Wednesday. School was cancelled today. Rumor has it that it’s probably going to be cancelled again tomorrow and maybe for the whole upcoming week! Any road that isn’t a main roadway is still a disaster. My street still hasn’t been plowed once. The highways are full of huge clumps of ice and snowbanks that randomly jut into a lane, causing traffic to swerve into another lane. Trees are down everywhere, too. 
Everyone likes to give the Mid-Atlantic region a hard time for being wimps about the snow, but even I have to admit that if these storms hit New England there would be almost as much chaos.
The first picture is my poor car, which took hours to dig out of its spot and then a few more hours to get it back into its spot after it became clear that there was no way that it was going to survive the journey down the street.
The second is the scene from the local Safeway the night before the storm. Good luck finding any food. The place was picked clean and check out took almost forty-five minutes.
I just took these with my phone over the past few days. More to come eventually.
