Yesterday afternoon, I geared up in my warmest waterproof winter gear and spent 5 hours on the National Mall photographing the onset of the 2016 Blizzard nicknamed “Snowzilla”. Unless someone can offer me transport today, it looks like yesterday was my only opportunity to travel down to the city to capture the falling snow before Sunday. Hopefully, things clear enough so that I can get back down after the nearly 30″ of snow we are expecting! In the meantime, here is what I captured through sunset of last night. The snow was falling pretty consistently, but shifted from fluffy puffs to a glittery mist. It was a blast being out there. Everyone stay warm, hopefully have more to share in the coming days…
