If you’re looking for an alternative to the standard Valentine’s Day celebration of candle lit dinners, card and candy exchanges, and the occasional (yet awkward) first date, look no further than Jammin’ Java’s “All You Need is Love Songwriter’s Circle Tribute to the Beatles and Love [...]
Drive like an ass, just like this guy
Notice how all that snow is piled on top of this person’s car? Don’t be like that. When you can get out and drive, be sure to clean the snow off your entire car. Two things can result from this type of halfway done snow removal. First, big chunks of ice and snow can fall [...]
More »Don’t Let Snow Madness Happen To You
Maybe it’s just the cabin fever, but I laughed disproportionately hard at this video about the very serious condition “Snow Madness,” starring Hampton and narrated by Aparna Nancherla.

We tell you where the hydrant is, you dig it out
Chief of the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Dennis Rubin has been asking the public to help out and clear snow from around fire hydrants, but it’s not uncommon for some to be covered. Where to dig?
Well, we’ve whipped up a tool to help you find ones close to you, buried or not. Put in [...]

OPM has announced that the Fed is closed for a nearly unprecedented fourth day in a row. The last time the government shut down for more than 2 days was for the blizzard of 1996, when employees were instructed not to report for an entire week (also the record for [...]

Historical Blizzards
The nice folks at Daily Beast have compiled a historical collection of blizzard photography, covering the storms that have hit the US and paralyzed various cities in the US, from Boston to Seattle. I still think ours is one of the more impressive. Somehow they also left out the Knickerbocker Storm that set [...]
More »Get On This Bus: Fresh Food for All
Here’s a heartwarming video for a snowy day.
Yesterday, the BBC ran a piece on The Farm to Family Bus, a farmers market on wheels that serves neighborhoods in Richmond, often in low-income areas, that don’t have easy access to grocery stores and quality, organic food.
The piece also highlights Josh Viertel, president of Slow Food [...]
Cold Feet
‘More than ankle deep’

No matter what, my feet are always cold or wet walking around in this snow. Sure, Uggs are nice and toasty, but they’re not waterproof and the slushy snow soaks right through. Rain boots, or wellies, are great because they are a little taller (helping in those 3-foot-deep snow drifts) [...]
A Musical Interlude
Take a break from all the snow talk and enjoy this video, recorded live at the Black Cat last night.
That’s Daimion Suomi performing “Burn the Pain.” There’s another video from last night on the linked Suomi tumblr,, but it includes some footage of what Suomi had to go through to get to last night’s performance. [...]
Winter is for Gardening

Outside is a view of the grip of winter, fitting more for Boston, Montreal, or Calgary than a typical Washington winter. The snow flies sideways and the cold is enough to make anyone think twice about joining a snowball fight. In light of this, you might think me crazy to [...]
Georgetown Shops Continue To Take A Beating

The shops lining M Street and Wisconsin Avenue have had a turbulent year. We’ve lost American Eagle, Commander Salamander, Up Against The Wall, FYE, Smith and Hawken, Nathan’s, etc. However, we have gained North Face, True Religion Jeans, Arisu, etc. A full survey from late January of the [...]
What Better Way To Commemorate “Snowmageddon” Than With A T-Shirt
Want to commemorate surviving SNOW-MG 2010 or brag to your friends back at home about how you watched DC become something reminiscent of a ghost down during a zombie apocalypse during “snowmaggedon”? Thrillist DC is giving you that chance.
You can rep the District all year long with their new “I Survived…Snowmageedon” T-Shirt.
Sick of snow all together? You can [...]

You might remember the name Alex Capece from our He Loves DC series; he’s a DC EMS rookie working with DCFD in the midst of all this crazy snow. He’s updated his fire blog to include thoughts from working inside a blizzard, and it’s sure not glamorous:
