Winter Wallop 3 ended last night. It was really strange. The snow started on Tuesday early evening shortly after 1700. James and I suited up to take Lulu for a walk after 1900 and we had at least 3" of snow on the ground. We also earned $20 that evening when we ended up helping a neighbor move her Mustang GT by pushing her with the Ranger up the hill and to the front of the neighborhood to her actually parking space. The roads and conditions deteriorated quickly. And then between 2200 and 0430 there was nothing except rain, freezing rain, and slush. By the time I woke up at 0800 it was snowing, windy, and I couldn't really see what was happening across the street. And that was our weather for the remainder of the day. I didn't take any photos because there was nothing to compare the increased snow fall against given the 2 feet of snow already on the ground. And we didn't really go out. To much wind!
The snowfall of Winter Wallop 3 has pushed the 2009-2010 winter as the snowiest winter in DC recorded history. The original record was 54.4" during the 1898-1899 winter. We now have had 54.9".
And we have five more weeks of winter......
