For me, February is the longest month of the Year. Now that the Glaciel Polar Ice has begun to recede from our area, I am motivated and able to continue Walking the Earth. Here are a few images from Saturday Morning, with my trusty little Canon G-9. (click images to enlarge)
4' of Snow fell on Washington DC over 3 days in early February 2010. The entire Washington DC Metro area was virtually shut down for a week.
