It’s been a rough few weeks for the KushGods, thanks to Carl for sending from Shaw. At least Starbucks looks open. And remember kids this is the BLUNT Truth.

One of many similar emails I’ve received:
“I live off H St NE and this is my back yard… The alley is too small for a plow and it’s about 25-30 yards each way of knee deep and higher snow! Snowzilla strikes again!”
Ed. Note: In February of last year DDOT and DPW reminded residents “that as a policy the District does not plow alleys”.
About that unwinding!! A reader reports:
“1018 Owl is a new pop-up bar near the corner of 5th and K NE. The bar will be open as long as mother nature cooperates.”

Thanks to all who sent emails about the sign Andrea Noble spotted on Capitol Hill and posted to twitter:

I wonder what happened to that spot in Brightwood…
Also Sean reminds folks that you can’t just park next to snowbanks in the middle of the street – from Adams Morgan:
It’s no secret that during snow holidays folks like to, eh, unwind a bit. That is half the fun. When folks unwind and send me emails it is the best. It is not fair for me to keep them to myself any longer so with no further ado I give you Volume One:
“Forgot to say – from Manor Park!*
*The Best Park (fuck Woodley, fuck Park View, fuck Cleveland Park, as a Park and as a neighborhood too, and if you wanna be down with Brightwood, then fuck you too).”
Cheers LK and a beautiful photo too!! The original NSFW:
Thanks to Beth for sending “Telly, the Telework Snowman. Now if only his computer would stop freezing …”
Ed. Note: Brilliant!!
Thanks to Joy for sending Snozilla from Hobart Street in Mount Pleasant.

From WMATA:
“Metro will be unable to restore train service at four Orange Line stations that had been expected to reopen this morning: Vienna, Dunn Loring, West Falls Church and East Falls Church. The change in service plan is due to weather-related damage and icing issues with the electrified third rail that were discovered overnight as test trains were run on the line. Specifically, test trains were unable to move through the area reliably and maintain third-rail power to sustain service.
Metro’s priority is ensuring that trains in passenger service are able to operate safely and reliably.
Orange Line service is running between Ballston and New Carrollton every 12 minutes. Affected Orange Line customers in Virginia should use Ballston Station until further notice.
Metro apologizes for the inconvenience and is working restore service to these stations–as well as five Silver Line stations–as soon as possible.”
