No matter where you grew up, snow storms aren’t something to be taken lightly. 6 inches of snow might garner a completely different reaction from people, but when blizzard-like conditions are in the forecast everyone needs to take the appropriate precautions. The last 36 hours showed us there were several winners during this winter storm, and we want to showcase several of you.

  1. Tian Tian and the National Zoo put out the best representation of having fun in the snow. This video shows what having fun in the snow is really all about.

 

2. The public safety, government, and news updates. Especially messages like this:

3. Snow is fun, these people showed it: (click for pic!)

4. Capital Weather Gang, because let’s be honest –  we all checked their Twitter account multiple times over the last week.

5. Everyone who was prepared with the essentials.

 

And just in case anyone thinks I might not have been properly prepared… #prosecco #bubbly #snow #snowday #Jonas

6. The DC Police were in the news a lot! Some officers were playing football in the snow, others were blasting the soundtrack from Frozen, and some even stopped for photos. All of this while trying to keep people safe in some unprecedented weather conditions.

7. We all heard the pleas from public safety and news outlets to stay off the roads and inside. We wanted to call out a couple restaurants that kept their doors closed during Saturday’s storm.

8. The weathermen got it right! In case you forgot what they were originally projecting they made sure to remind us all during their Saturday broadcasts. We applaud them, take credit when you can.

Who made your winner’s list?
