blizzard

President Obama calls this Snowmaggedon. Whatever it's called, it's the biggest snow to hit DC in history but maybe not according to the airport figures. It's still snowing and we have about 30 inches on the ground. I'm very lucky to have power because over 200,000 homes are without power in the region, mostly in the suburbs of Maryland and Virginia, and 5,000 in DC. Some major roads in the area are blocked by fallen trees due to heavy snow and wind. A private jet hangar at Dulles airport had the roof collapse and a small old wooden church collapsed under the weight of the snow.

Here are a couple of iPhone photos I took earlier today looking out my front and rear upstairs windows:
