Thanks to Melissa for sending: “Draper, the sage schnairedale in Edgewood watching the snow… knowing it’s better to be on the inside looking out.”

A bit of a wet, muddy rainy snowy mix today. Still nice to look at!

“Snow / cars etiquette question”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

What do I do with the snow when I clear off the car? Leave it in the street? Shovel it onto our easement? My husband and I just bought a house, and this is the first time we’ve had street parking. It’s the first time we’ve had to worry about this problem, as well, even when we lived in a building with an outdoor lot.

For what it’s worth, I did the latter the other day because it was a fair amount of snow, and I was self-conscious. My block is almost entirely populated by people who’ve lived here for at least a decade, but more often several decades, so I didn’t want to rock the proverbial boat. I also wasn’t sure if there was some implicit rule city-wide about the etiquette around this.”

Emir shares with us yesterday: “#traderjoes of 14th street #WashingtonDC has a very low inventory due to the snow storm. They’ll restock Thursday #dc”

Rachel notes the effects of the storm were felt as early as Sunday: “Not gonna lie, almost cried when I saw they were out of salted peanut butter pretzels on Sunday lol”

and Ivana noted yesterday: “And don’t bother going to the Safeway at 5th/L St, they’re out of nearly everything”

Good luck today people, and remember, this is no excuse to skip 2nd breakfast, arguably the most important meal of the day.
