It started snowing Friday night during the Greyboy Allstars and didn't stop till Saturday night. Saturday the city looked nice in a clean white sheet of snow. None of the streets were plowed yet. There were cars stuck everywhere. I saw people pushing two different cop cars. One guy and his friends had a nice tunnel dug in a parking lot snow pile made by a backhoe. You could easily fit two people inside it when I walked by. Seeing adults build a snow fort was a laugh. People were also sledding down 14th Street near me. I saw one guy with a Little Sumptin' Extra Ale which is a favorite of mine.
There was a snowball fight organized on Twitter at the corner of 14th and U St in DC. 100 or so people turned out. Cars braving the conditions might have be hit by an errant snowball or two. A Hummer near the intersection happened to receive a few snowballs making the driver a little unhappy. First the guy waved his walkie-talkie. Then he pulled out a gun. It turns out he was an undercover cop but this was not realized until 911 had been called by a few people. Cops show up with sirens and guns drawn. Lots of pictures and videos were taken by participants and spectators. National news was made. My parents heard about it. Good times in DC.
The main roads were passable on Sunday. All the roads were fine by Monday even though the Federal Government closed. They claimed it was a blizzard because of the wind or something. I got 15 inches. Wish it happened more often.
