I have to say the number of amazing photos you guys have taken has far exceeded my expectations and I had sky high expectations. Thanks so much for taking the time to email ([email protected]) tweet (@PoPville) and of course upload to the PoPville flickr pool. Vol. three photos are all Flickr pool but I still have many more photos from email, twitter and facebook to post – so standby for Vol. 4, 5, 6, 7…including more sculptures, play, cleanup, plows, snowball fights and additional snow pups of course and keep ’em coming. Thanks and have fun today!!

From the Mayor’s Office:

“In advance of the pending blizzard, Mayor Bowser and her Administration are urging all residents and visitors to find shelter, and stay in place, prior to the start of the storm. The storm is expected to bring more than two feet of snow to the District, with sustained winds up to 50 miles per hour.

The blizzard will be dangerous and potentially life threatening. During the storm, people should avoid being out on the roads, for their own personal safety. The public’s cooperation is also critical for the city’s emergency personnel and first responders, who will need to use major arteries to respond to any emergencies.

At 9:30 this morning, Mayor Bowser declared a snow emergency – meaning that all cars parked in snow lanes must be removed. Otherwise they will be towed. The Mayor will lift the snow emergency after the snow event has ended.

For up to date information, including tips to keep you and your families safe, please visit snow.dc.gov.”

The Snow Couch above from 2010 is gonna be tough to beat but no doubt there’ll be some good ones.  Let me know what neighborhood you saw it/built it in and email to [email protected] or tweet me @PoPville or of course upload to the PoPville Flickr pool. 

Please send all your snow photos (pets, snowball fights, beauty, insanity) via those routes too – thanks!

Ed. Note: Free PoPville T-Shirts for the really really good ones (you’ll have to pick up at the next happy hour but I promise I won’t forget! I love these photos so much – can’t wait to see what you guys capture this year. Please specify how you’d like photo credit to appear if not from the Flickr pool – otherwise default is as always “a reader”. Be safe and have fun!!
