Back to fatties downtown!

Franklin Square.

Just walked to the Eastern Market subway station and the precip was definitely pinging on my umbrella.

Picking up again on Capitol Hill.

As a longtime resident of Capitol Hill, I will always take the under on a changeover to sleet/slop. But hope springs eternal.

DC split a nice way to end things.

I didn't measure earlier today, but I've got 8 inches on the trash cans and 2 inches on the sidewalk that I shoveled at 4pm (and that caved immediately).

Radar blossoming a bit again?

The fool's errand of trying to capture snow in progress, but maybe you can see.

Puking snow on the Hill by the SE Fwy. Gorgeous.

Picture perfect snowfall continuing here. Big steady flakes.

If that's the beginning of the pivot line on radar, it can just stay right where it is right now, thankyouverymuch. Fatties falling on the Hill.

South side of Capitol Hill.

Yup, lull is over on Capitol Hill.

My cobblestone street on the Hill has now caved.

Now starting a more moderate level of extremely light snow on Capitol Hill.

I feel so gypped. I was inside my office building at McPherson Square, walking pretty deeply into the center of the building on the 4th floor, and I heard some rumbling and felt a thud like some heavy equipment was getting moved (I wasn't that far from the freight elevators, so it wasn't that abnormal of a sound/sensation). I kept walking, and it wasn't until I got to the lobby and saw the hordes of flustered people heading for the exits that I found out what happened. Two things on my desk were tipped over, so if I had just stayed put for about 20 seconds longer I would have known what was going on. Everyone who sits around me said it was totally obvious it was an earthquake. Waaah!
