Winter in Washington is sort of a joke. It gets genuinely cold for all of one week of the year, it snows only occasionally, and yet the general populace is about as prepared for the weather as Noah’s neighbors were for the Flood.

Admittedly, it’s probably a good thing that people freak out about the snow. Walking around on slushy sidewalks all day is enough to annoy even the most hardy Pennsylvanian/New Yorker/Minnesotan/whatever I feel like calling myself that day. Knowing that every time you cross the street you’re surrounded by death projectiles driven by utterly clueless people, sometimes it’s a little difficult to motivate yourself for a trek outside.

In the mole cave that is this basement abode, it’s no matter. One needn’t even acknowledge that days even happen. Fortunately, sometimes I step out in spite of the danger (and the light) to capture nice photos of the neighborhood like this. Nothing like a little wet sticky snow to make for some good pictures.
