This probably was the most insane snowstorm we've ever been in. Nearly two feet of snow fell on a previously dry ground in the DC area in less than 24 hours. Everything instantly closed. Marci's wedding was nearly cancelled, but the temple opened up just for those people getting married. One poor couple only had their parents at their wedding because no one could brave the weather to get there. On our short drive to and from the wedding we saw several cars buried in the huge snow drifts on the side of the highway. The day after the storm we head south for the reception and we drove through a completely closed down DC. The steps to the Lincoln Memorial were covered and tape off so you couldn't even get up to see it. So we settled ourselves back in the car and were content with just a driving tour of a very snow covered capital.
(This is actually taken the week after the snowstorm, and all the snow is gone. That would never happen in Idaho. It would stick forever.)
Just some of the hundreds and hundreds of cars completely covered and well stuck by the storm. We didn't get too many pictures due to the fact we were trapped in our hotel with all the hotel staff for a day.
The night before the storm we made to the DC temple to check out the Christmas lights. It was really really cool. Inside the visitor's center they had several enormous Christmas trees and nativitys from all over the world. That's when we actually like the beautiful snow falling everywhere. Before it became madness!!! :)
