I arrived in DC safely on Thursday evening. In less than 24 hours, the city was awash in a fine coating of icy snow, a condition which has not improved in the last 24 hours.
My current status is stuck inside the Marriott Residence inn of Pentagon City with my boyfriend Andrew's family. We left Capitol Hill at noon, and we soon realized our vehicle was not road worthy by 12:30pm. We may try to leave around 2pm tomorrow if conditions continue to get better. RIght now, the snow has stopped but temperatures are likely only in the upper 20s. More snow may follow....
Highlights of the last two nights included a 3 miles jog from Capitol Hill to Foggy Bottom along the Mall. Deserted and beautiful, I had an amazing run along sites I've passed by countless times when I lived in the nation's capital from 1997-2004. Whenever I am in town, I do a similar run and it is always a reenergizing highlight to my visit. Other highlights included meeting a good 50% of Andrew's extended family during a memorial service for a recently departed uncle. Sad, but uplighting the same time.
