Winter Wonderland, or frigid nightmare — you make the call! Whatever you want to call it, it's been snowing here in DC since the early morning hours, and where I live, there is about 10 inches on the ground. It's well below freezing, and the wind has been strong all day — almost blizzard conditions, according to a local meteorologist. Needless to say, the city collapsed under the weight of the storm, and I got the day off. I took a walk around 2pm, and arrived back home an hour later tired, cold, and amazingly energized. Even my little cookie-cutter bit of suburbia looks quite nice all white and snowy.
