Big snow

The DC area was hit by a very big snowstorm - a blizzard, in fact - this weekend, starting Friday evening and lasting all day yesterday. The storm yielded an official DC/Reagan National Airport total of around 15.7 inches (and an unofficial our-backyard total of at least five inches more), making it one of the top 10 storms on record for the area and the most snow ever recorded for a single December day. So yeah, it was big snow. So big that even our relatives in Korea called to make sure we were all right after hearing about it on the news over there. Needless to say, we were housebound all day yesterday, until Dad and I finally ventured outside in the evening to dig out the cars. Luckily, that turned out to be a less daunting task than expected, because the snow was all in the form of powder - nice and light and easy to shovel. Here are some photos from throughout the storm.
