LOL. Seriously. I made it out today for the first time in three days. I haven’t seen snow piles like this since I visited the Upper Peninsula.

I have a C on my heart.

I made it (via foot and bus) to Eastern Market to pick up more food today. Was nice to get out, but lots of sidewalks (owned by the city, and developers who have nothing but empty lots right now) still aren’t cleared. Walking alongside major roads is so much fun.

Yeah, I almost nailed a guy who bolted out from between two snow piles on Columbia Pike. Not to mention you can’t see any cars looking to make turns off or on to side streets. Crazy dangerous out there.

By the way, on Twitter Becca has named this weather event Backstorm. Which is AWESOME.

It’s snowing like crazy in Alexandria right now. Hoping we hit the upper end of accumulation so that the building where I work will cave in or something.

I hear New Yorkers are calling this storm Garth Snow, by the way.

Last time I checked, he was suspended for 3 games of “the streak.” So, yeah. Love him, but we’ll be fine – I wouldn’t go as far to say it’ll “cost us a win” or anything like that.

Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
