Madison, Wisconsin

While DC was getting covered in 30 inches of snow this weekend I decided I was still going to try and make it to Madison for the outdoor hockey game. Bad decision. Don’t get me wrong I had fun seeing some of my professors and my friends as well as walking around campus some taking pictures. But getting home was a disaster. Flight was canceled so I drove from Wisconsin to DC yesterday. Roads were fine until we hit 270/495. Driving on GW Parkway was amazing with all the snow on the trees, but I still didn’t get home until 2 am and then couldn’t fall asleep until 4:30. I’m also bummed I didn’t get to experience one of the biggest blizzards DC has ever seen.

Anyways, here’s a picture I took of Bascom Hall – I’ll have a bunch more to come but I’m starting to hit an afternoon wall off of my only 3 hours of sleep last night. I’ve also taken a few pictures of all the snow outside my apartment – they’re here on my Flickr account if you’re interested in seeing them.

I’m incredibly lucky that when I need to walk back to work from a meeting on the House side of the Capitol I have tons of things to do some quick pictures of. Today I was double lucky in that I was walking back during sunset and grabbed this HDR of the Library of Congress.

Another DC Snow

I have to say I’m sort of loving all this snow the DC area is getting. We got a few inches Tuesday night – it all melted away by the afternoon though – and we’re supposed to get another 12″ this weekend. I’m supposed to be going to Madison tomorrow, but we’ll see if I get out before the snow comes.

Anywho, the snow cover yesterday morning was really beautiful covering everything except the roads with about an inch of snow. As soon as I got to work I immediately went outside to snap some pictures of the Capitol and Union Station (of course one of my co-workers saw me, but I’m used to being the crazy girl running around with a camera always in her hands).

Should have a bunch more pictures this weekend – whether I’m in Madison or here for Snowapocalypse 2.
