The storm did a lot of damage, however. In addition to taking out many, many trees, a couple roofs collapsed.
Someone organized a DC-wide snowball fight at Dupont Circle. I took part. Over 5,500 people RSVP'ed for the event. Spicy.
I was joined in this endeavor by my good friends Meghan and Jessica, who came decked out in a halo.
Since she had the halo, Jessica had to make a snow angel.
People got so silly. One of my personal fav's, the above car was aptly named "Mr. T".
We aren't kidding when we say that people ravage the grocery stores at any hint of a storm. After the snowball fight we decided we needed some "essentials". But after seeing this when we walked into the grocery store, we weren't sure we'd find them.
But in the end we were successful, and came away with frozen pizza, chips, toilet paper and wine. The essentials.
On Sunday Jessica and I took in some more of the storm, and did some sledding. We started out on a gentle slope and some cardboard.
This didn't get us far, however, and we ended up going down a long flight of snowed-over stairs in Meridian Park. Much spicier.

Really looks like you made the best of the bad weather! Looks like lots of fun, but too cold for this old lady! Aunt Terry
That looks like the best sledding ever! Was it scary? I'm probably just overly nervous, but when I sledded down the snowed-over Ad Building steps the first time, it was a little scary to start.
I was scared at first, but you really don't get going too fast on cardboard. Additionally, the stairs had two "landings", which made for a little break but also a hump that led to some awesome air time. One group of people there had an actual piece of sledding equipment, and they were letting anyone borrow it. This one guy, probably in his late thirties and wearing a pea coat, took a ride down. He caught so much air! When he got to the bottom he was moaning and groaning about his tailbone, and bemoaning the fact that he was not 20 anymore.
