“Dear PoP,

This picture was taken after the lighter snow fall from 2 weeks ago…this is on either 7th or 8th street NE of Grant Circle. I just wanted to ask what’s up with that?”

I’ve seen this boat once before, can’t remember if I wrote about it, but def. think it is awesome. Incidentally on twitter someone asked what’s going to happen when all the snow melts? Anyone know if we are in store for some serious flooding?

Besides the snow, how did your block/neighborhood survive the wind? Many trees down?

I’m posting this a bit early so I can hit the neighborhood bars but it is expected that the Federal Government remains closed as do above ground metrorail stations.

If you have burned out on snowball fights, what are you going to do to pass the day? I have to say I finally saw the movie Zombieland and thought it was fantastic. I dare say a perfect snow day film.

From a reader:

“I know there has been many names for this storm but I’m calling it Moby Dick.
If I have to shovel one more inch…

… to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee.

Yep big, white and a pain in the ass”

Awesome! Your poems welcome in the comments!


Thanks to a reader for sending, I hope it doesn’t lose any more limbs. I’m getting very worried with all this wind.

And how high will it go? Everyone all set on food and booze?

Please check on your elderly neighbors to make sure they are ok.

Let’s take new bets on when people will have to go back to work, particularly as rumors of another storm for Monday are circulating…
