(Long enough for the shutter to open and close once, anyway.)

And making a goofy kid even goofier.

Best DC Winter Ever!

We broke the record. Yesterday's blizzard put us over the top. The city has been pretty much shut down for a week. But it's sooo pretty!

Tenny has used the hunker-down time to perfect his pagoda building skills.

Next winter is going to be so disappointing.

Snowmageddon

Six winters in DC had us thinking it didn't (really) snow in the District. Our seventh has convinced us otherwise. Put Ye Stewart Clan on the record as LOVING every minute of it.

Tennyson dug a snow cave and pretended to be a snow monster.

Jeremy hiked through the blizzard the first night to see all the sights in the still-falling snow.

No hill? No Sled? No problem! (Nothing a shovel and decent set of stairs can't fix.)

Suzy dusted off the snowshoes and blazed new trails through Capitol Hill.

No Mercedes was spared.

As the inches turned into feet, it seemed like the snow might never stop.

But, after 2+ feet of snow, the clouds parted and the digging out began.

As did the snow angels.

Update: We just got this email from a Capitol Hill Yahoo! group to which we belong. East Coasters provide endless entertainment every time it snows.

"My husband heard on the radio that the birds and squirrels are starving because they can't get to any food. If you have any birdseed, bread and nuts, please toss onto cleared area for them."
