Adventures in the snow

This weekend we got the 20-40 inches of snow they were predicting and had a blast.

On our way to a massive snowball fight with lost of other young(ish) DC residents. This is our street which leads to Dupont Circle.

My bike was not spared the snow...

At the snowball fight. The media said there were about 1,500 people there. Odd that people get more mobilized for a snowball fight than for a protest but it was so much fun!

A video of the excitement. Here there's a guy who mobilized all of us to save up our snowballs and throw them at the people in the middle at the same time.

Then we met up with Nate and little-N.

We did some sledding and at the bottom of the hill found this igloo.

Sohail going in the ingloo.

Inside! It was really beautiful and turned all blue when the light from the entry way was blocked.

Trees
Saturday night Sohail and I saw that this tree which is on our block fell. Today they came and cut it. I didn't really realize how heavy snow is but lots of trees were downed.

Fortunately the tree didn't hit any buildings but did crush two cars.

And we also pushed several cars out of the snow... Now on to the next big storm (arriving tomorrow and Wednesday - 10-20 inches).
