I was in DC '93 near Xmas time staying over night at a relative's MIL to see The Clintons' salute to American Crafts:specially crafted ornaments on the inside WH trees the next day.

Snow wasn't supposed to start till mid-morning. When I left at 10A already a 1/4" inch. I just walked carefully in my sneakers to the local bus.

By the time I was on The Metro at 3PM they let the non-essential Fed workers leave.
Suddenly it was like 5PM Rush Hour in NYC! 😄

By the time I took pics of The Capitol in the dark [5 PMish] from the National Mall it was about 3" - 4" inches. I was careful, and I had heavy sneakers on. 👍
