This was a magnificent storm! Started snowing mid-morning Friday, picked up the pace during the evening, cranked up more around 10:00p and it was relentless for the next 18 hours.

What was shocking about this storm is not just the depth of the snow but the moisture content. From the get-go, this stuff was super-glue, sticking to the sides of bollards, cars, every twig, clogged chain link fences. Stunningly beautiful. Sympathies to those whose power it has knocked out.

God help you if you needed to (or still need to) drive anywhere, or Metro above ground.

I haven't posted photos until now because I have hardly been in the house. Snowshoed five miles today, took Gidget to her "Snow Bowl" puppy playdate, had a neighborhood potluck to attend and just hung out in the 'hood for hours with all kinds of peops. Pedestrians have ruled the roads -- big roads and side streets -- for the past 30 hours or so. Hasn't been this quiet since 9/11 shut down the airports and trains.

Here are the first of a variety of photos, from mid-storm until after the last snowflake fell. All taken today, from sunrise to after sunset.

Below is Massachuseetts Avenue, a major cross-town 4-lane thoroughfare.
