And now, D.C. is focused on the snow. Everything is all about the snow. You wouldn’t even know that the Super Bowl is coming up because all that’s talked about is the storm. The Weather Channel has replaced ESPN on every TV set, as meteorologists forecast the nor-eastern to be one of the biggest in D.C. in the past ten years. With two feet of snow is in the forecast, this storm has captured the focus of the entire District.
Here is the gate to my apartment complex
One of my Roommates and I stand by allllll the snow
The federal government closed their offices at 1:00 pm on Friday, and therefore, like a domino effect, the rest of the city shut their doors as well. Despite the fact that my office is full of people who are from Quebec and consider 2 feet of snow in 30 degree weather to be trivial, we also closed at 1:00 pm. The main concern of both my office and the federal government was the safety of transportation.
The Metro system announced that in open air sections of the Metro, if the snow accumulated over eight inches then the trains would not service those stops. With not having a car and with the Metro not servicing my area, I’m stranded at my apartment. But in all honesty, I have everything I need here in Bethesda.
The grocery store located right next door to my building is fully stocked with food even during the storm. With the hype of the storm building, my roommate and I went to the grocery store to stock up on some essentials. The grocery store was so full that the lines to check out extended up the aisles of the store. While everyone in the grocery store grabbed meat, eggs, and milk, I grabbed multiple boxes of hot chocolate mix.
And now, with my hot chocolate beside me, its like Christmas in February.
Que Sera Sera
