Snowbound, January 23

  Power stayed on and we spent the day mostly in the hotel. We did venture out for a short stroll, but only a few sidewalks were shoveled so we did not make it far. We did go to our car and retrieve a few things including my knitting - such a good snowbound thing to do. We ate food that we bought - mostly fruit and toast and ate lunch at Dish, the restaurant here. It was pretty good.
   All these shots were taken early in the day, so half way through the storm. More photos tomorrow!
 

Traffic banned in Washington D.C.

Mark by our hotel, but this is not our car which is in the street.

    Overall, we were grateful to have the day to do nothing. The street in front of us is not plowed and no one is going anywhere. There are a lot of nurses staying here from the nearby George Washington University Hospital.
    Nantucket was slammed by snow and gale winds. We heard from Nick and Liz early in the day, but not later, so we assume that they lost power. It is ironic that last year when we were traveling, the same thing happened to the island while we were traveling southward.
