Snowshoeing in DC
I never thought I would go snowshoeing in Washington, DC. Over the weekend, we had 8″ to 10″ of snow. Unlike Maine, that is enough to shut down the city. I went snowshoeing in Soapstone Valley today to get some fresh air. The best word to describe snowshoeing is rambunctious. Snowshoes allow you to go through areas of the woods and forest you normally would or could not go in other seasons. It is a wild ride. Click on the image for a larger view.

Saturday, Part 2
The snow stopped in the afternoon of March 12. The temperature would drop below zero that night, turning the magnolia blossoms brown the next day. Last year, we saw a spectacular display. Click on the image for a larger view.

New Year Blizzard, Part 5
Downtown Washington, DC. The blizzard dropped about 6.9 inches of snow, which shut the city down. After living in Maine for 10 years, this was quite surprising—6 inches of snow in Maine is pretty normal and has little effect on people’s lives. Click on the image for a larger view.
