Beginning Friday, February 5th, the Washington Metro Area began getting snow...and LOTS of it! More than 2 feet of snow recorded in parts of the area. Here is hubby getting a headstart on shoveling, while it was still snowing.
This was the worst snowstorm to hit the Washington, DC area in over 90 years! Look at the mess it left behind and it won't be gone for days -- or weeks -- or MONTH! Here's our little Penguin out in the record breaking snow!
Arnold's artistic eye caught this Beautiful shot!
Holy Snow Cat! LOL!
According to the news two local airports received the following amounts of this wintry white stuff:
"Washington Reagan National Airport received 17.8 inches of snow"
"Thurgood Marshall BWI Airport received 26.5 inches of snow"...which meant planes weren't flying, Amtrak trains weren't running AND Metro above ground trains or buses were suspended as well. All of the regions schools and the Federal Government were CLOSED. In other words, the Nations Capital and surrounding areas was SHUT DOWN!
The local news also reported that the weight of the snow along with heavy winds caused a lot of power outages across the region. So now image those poor people who were snowed-in AND didn't have any Power OR Heat!!!
We were VERY grateful that our power remained on...
Now this snow started on a Friday and can you believe that they are reporting that ANOTHER storm will hit the region on TUESDAY?!?!?
Until then...we will be "Chillin' Like Penguins!"
