Washington, DC Snow

We headed south to escape the cold and snow of Western NY. For our troubles we landed in the middle of the worst snow storm of the season in Washington, DC.

Now, I have to say that this ‘worst storm of the winter‘ was nothing by Western NY standards, but it virtually closed down the District of Columbia. It seems that they have few plows here; the schools were all closed and the Federal government was shut down. Traffic on the roads was pretty light, so getting from our hotel to Monica’s home was relatively easy and having a snow day with the Grandkids was great.

On the other hand, snow on the first day of spring was not in my imagined version of our first week of retirement. It’s disturbing that my fantasy world of retirement is already crumbling on day-four. I’m hoping that clear skies are ahead!
