@Trund27 Yea, you are so right I can never recall ever getting snowstorms like these Americans are getting and I feel bad for them and yet they say Canada is the coldest country and we live in igloo's.
@fredrikjonas We got about an inch today. I am hoping for more later this winter. What is a normal amount of snow for Norway this time of year? 2 feet sounds like lots of fun.
@gfreakj Northern Norway and East-Norway normally have like 10 inches this time of year and at easter it's easily 3 foot of snow. While some places only have snow on the mountains.
@bradleyrae2 Its snowing very close to where I live but DC has mountains to the west of us and things get hung up there sometimes. Some places 2 hours from here have gotten 18 inches of snow over the last 3 days. Nothing here. Hope you are able to enjoy the snow. Thanks for commenting.,
@gfreakj i LOVE dc it sparks so many memories seeing 16th. i used to swim at marie reed and then i would go to columbia road to the safeway (is it still there). thanks for the posts keep them coming. ps let me know how the tee shirt venture is going your comical interpretations should def be in print lol
@brooklynse That Safeway is still there but has gotten much bigger.
I met with the artist that would be doing the illustrations for them this weekend. She is very talented. Now all thats left is to get the supplies together. Ill keep you up to date.
Snow is rare in parts of Canada, too! White Rock (near Vancouver) registered Canada's warmest winter for the (2009 - 2010) winter season. Its winter was warmer than Dallas this winter season (avg. temperature) and much warmer than Atlanta!. Considering this region of Canada also has the lightest average wind speeds on the continent and it had a much milder winter than Dallas and especially Atlanta this last winter season! Surprised?
@xpensfanatic2009 Funny beacuse I learned it in upstate NY. Keeps the ice from from the melting snow from freezing your wiper baldes to the windshield. At lewast thats why I do it.
@xpensfanatic2009 It worked well during the storms last winter. Maybe the rteason it is more in the south is because we tend to get more ice storms then snow storms in a normal year.
i dont really see anything blow around on the grond or trees bending visibility looks alright. doesnt look like a blizzard, looks like a heavy snow, 32 inches at dulles beats any previous record set in DC.
It was so much fun going ouit in it. We in DC have never experienced anything like that in the 37 years I have lived here. Hope we get more...next winter. Thanks for commenting.
Feb. 11th 2010 and Texas has gotten 5+ inches at 9am and news just said expect 5 - 7 more. 12 inches in one day in February?? WTF? This is Texas, home of 110 degree summer days for months and 80 degree fall temps. not N. Dakota.
Let me see if I understand this, from those who commenting on gobal warming . We are getting more snow than has ever been recorded (they started keeping records some time in the 1800's) and we never had two storms this close together or three storms this size in a season ever, and they are not getting snow in vancouver canada where these snow storms would be normal and this would have nothing to do with climate change ( gobal warming) You think THIS IS NORMAL?
Snow is rare in parts of Canada, too! White Rock (near Vancouver) registered Canada's warmest winter for the (2009 - 2010) winter season. Its winter was warmer than Dallas this winter season (avg. temperature). Considering this region of Canada also has the lightest average wind speeds on the continent and it had a much milder winter than Dallas this last winter season! By the way, Vancouver snows in the mountains (not in the city!) - Just like LA California snows in its mountains
@vancouvermild So what your saying is that the olympics committee pick an area with little or no snow to hold the winter games while we we're buried under more snow than ever in the history of balto- wash. area
On the contrary, they picked places with an over-abundance of snow. Whistler mountain, several thousand feet in the air and an hours drive from Vancouver, had loads of snow! That's where most of the outdor events took place. The media was over-focused on Cypress Mountain, which was relatively bare at the level of the sports events. Vancouver (the valley city) is lush green every February. They didn't pick the actual city of Vancouver to host any winter events - IMPOSSIBLE!
Why don't you search YouTube for the following videos? It will show you how pleasant the winter weather is in Vancouver (sea-level). In some of the videos, you will also see snow-capped mountains in the background (where winter sports can take place).

Thank you very much for braving to shoot & upload the video , for all of us to watch.IF i were there , i too had stroled like you.But, hey what sound your video is about?is it traffic, or cloud collision?
So much for global warming!! Texas had snow in December that broke 40+ year old records. coldest winter I can remember here. Wind chill was 10 last night had fireplace and heater running, very unusual for Texas.
The pathetic part of the "Al Gore global warming" is he owns stock in the company he pushes as one of the solutions. Yet they say his private jet pollutes in 1 flight as your american made auto in a years time.
Do as I say, not as I do. Practice what you preach Gore then I might listen, until then practice what you preach!
I live in Landover and we have a whole crap load of snow and I haven't seen a snow plow yet.And to make it even worse The dumpsters in my appartment building haven't been dumped in days there full of trash and snow. I do not envy the person who has to clean that mess up
I didnt even think of it. Her the problem is all the dog poop in the neighborhood that people arent scooping. I strted to notice it yesterday as the snow melted. Now add another layer...lovely. Enjoy it if you can. WE WILL SURVIVE!!! LOL
yea I know what thats like my neighborhood has a lot of dogs two. Me personally I have small dogs and its hard to get them to the bathroom because they get covered in snow
I usually have to dig out a path for my dog in our backyard or he will go on himself. I never thought Id be shoveling the grass. LOL The things we do for our dogs.
I read they ran out of salt. And actually, another thing, now that the snow STArts MELTING, you see how many damage the asphalt has, like rips and cracks, so they already start fixing :)
My street is mangled. I just saw a guy that was stuck. He was spinning his tires so much pieces of rubber were coming off. They announced that if we havent seen a plow yet we probably wont see one for a few days. Brilliant!
This is something we've never seen in my lifetime. I've been here my whole life. It's great. We better enjoy it while it's here. It will be another 20 years before it happens again.
I love how you kept saying the wind was blowing right in your face at the very beginning, but you were obviously walking the same direction as the wind was blowing... LOL Also... great info, but try to hold the camera more steady, I had Blair Witch Project flashbacks.... LOL
Thanks for taking the walk and show the snow around. I appreciate it. Although I have been in DC quite a few times I can not tell where you are at. Take 1, very good!
Thanks. I am up near Adams Morgan. It was fun. It seems I'll have another chance tomorrow night. Another possible blizzard. 10 to 16 inches of dry snow and heavy wind. Woo Hoo. lol
@YTPisme This was wet heavy snow. It wont go anywhere unless I move it. Plus i would not have been able to get out the next day if I hadnt done it in stages.
Is it not normal for DC to snow? I'm in Europe, Switzerland, here it snows soooo much, in fact, about in all Europe they dont have salt anymore, so sometimes there are ICE layers in the asphalt :) crazy.
Haha, I can imagine so :) since in Switzerland they ARE good with controlling snow, like cleaning overnight the driving lanes and side streets for people walking on foot. But this year, whole Europe doesn't have SALT anymore, so its a huge mess over here too :) like an ICE AGE is coming :)
Is there a salt shortage? Or just so much snow they ran out. I know they said DC area has little salt left and a lot of the equiptment is damaged. Doesnt give me confidence they will be able to handle outr next big storm tonight and tomorrow.
Thankyou for posting this.....this storm got me outta school for a week lol good memories
