Another Blizzard? Bring It On!

Posted February 3, 2010, 11:09 p.m.

I love winter weather. After five (or more) years of non-winters with moderate temperatures and little or no snow, we’re finally making up for lost time. In December we had a good blizzard (well, blizzard by D.C.-area standards), and we’ve since had two more accumulating snows. Now it’s looking like we’re going to get another one on Friday and Saturday—possibly even another blizzard. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch and is projecting over a foot of snow, and possibly up to 20″.

I love it! This winter is shaping up to be a great one for us snow-lovers.
