watch: more of dc's snowpocalypse '10

Just about my whole life I've always said I wanted to move to a small town, where everyone knows each other, just like in "Sweet Home Alabama."

If this whole experience I've been living the past 6-8 months hasn't changed my mind, the Snowpocalypse and this video definitely have.



Sure, I made a really great igloo, and had a fun weekend being snowed in with my cussaholic BFF, but look at how much fun the city was! People were everywhere doing a bunch of different things! There's no such thing as getting snowed in there!

That video should definitely make everyone appreciate the snow, no matter how much we may be starting to hate it. Thank you, Nathan Golon and Jordan Gantz!

watch: snowmageddon 2010

All of us in the Northeast of the US really hate the word "snow" right now. Either that, or we're obsessed with it. We've inserted it into any word that could remotely make sense.

Snowmageddon, snowpocalypse, snowgasm, snotorious BIG, snOMG, snowdiculous... I can't even begin to think of them all right now.

It's the obvious theme on Twitter right now and there's no stopping it. Once something's a trending topic, good luck getting people to stop talking about it any time soon.

So, consider this me jumping on the bandwagon.

And this is probably the coolest video I've seen and was hoping someone had made one! The DCist recorded the whole weekend storm and sped it up.



I'm petrified. I feel like I'm watching something rise from the ground, and it's coming to kill me.

And just when I thought I could convince myself that wasn't the case, Darrin proved my initial thoughts right. This blizzard is absolutely coming to kill all of DC.



Brace yourselves, my friends. Do not go outside. Do not leave your beds. It will only result in death or serious injury.

PS: I'm loving looking at pictures from all of this, so email or tweet me your pictures and I'll post them tomorrow!

the dc snowgasm of 2010

ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE DMV! In case you didn't know, there is MORE snow coming our way within the next couple of hours and into tomorrow. The Snowpocalypse isn't going anywhere.

For those of you outside the DMV area- DC has been hit pretty hard with snow this winter. Yes, harder than our average 6 inches for the entire season, and even more than places that normally get a lot of snow.

In my own estimation... I think it's safe to assume we've gotten over 5 feet of snow as of now.

Today: 10-20 more inches. Fabulous.

This is no reason to panic, though! In fact, it's a reason to celebrate! If not celebrate, it's definitely time to enjoy the beauty that is snow in DC.

All of these pictures [except for one, obvi] are thanks to my friends at MyFoxDC. I heart them. A lot.

So stop stressing. Don't run out to the grocery store like a madwoman. Don't be angry because you can't get anything done. Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the scenery and a few days off. You need it.

watch eTV: my igloo during snowpocalypse 2009

All of my DMV readers are well aware of this crazy winter we've been having and the two "Snowpocalypses" we've had.

Ya see... The DC area never really gets any snow. This year we've had two storms with 2 feet or more of snow, and plenty of mini storms in-between.

I know it's been over a month since our last one at the end of December, but like my motto says: Better late than never.

That being said, I'm here to show you our freakin' FANTASTIC igloo that we made back in December. Mikey P started by crawling through a big snow mound, but then magic happened in my imagination. I grabbed my dad and cussaholic BFF and we built an igloo big enough for a 3+ person party.

Be jealous. That sucker stayed up for a good week. I wanted to open Christmas presents in there, but apparently it wasn't been enough for Santa. Lame.

This weekend's Snowpocalypse was way bigger, and even left me stranded at my cussaholic BFF's house for the weekend. That video of ridiculous debauchery will be up by next week. Oh boy.

Thank you, snow, for making my life fun again!

love,
