Living in DC's Snowpacolypse

Getting hit by two major back to back snow storms had us reliving some of our most vivid memories of massive snow falls while at Bowdoin College in Maine. We never thought we would see snow like that again living in the mid-Atlantic. The combined snow totals of Feb 5-6 and Feb 9-10 have come to about 31 inches! Add in the storm just before Christmas (just over 12 inches), a few other snow showers, and you have the snowiest DC winter since 1884 and one of the top 10 "snowiest" major cities in the country this season.

As you can imagine we have been enjoying the good life in our little green house with the old steam radiators pumping out heat on a regular basis. Can't wait to see the gas bill! Below are some pictures of our adventures in the snow. We have had certainly had a lot of fun and are happy to report all is well!
