Georgetown Takes a March Snow Day

Georgetown and Washington, D.C., got hit with a morning snow storm March 5, and it shut down the entire region. The sleety, snowy mix ranged from Texas to New York with D.C. right around the snowy band. Restaurants were open at lunchtime, although some were shutting for dinner. Martin’s Tavern, Clyde’s, J.Paul’s and Paulo’s and others were humming along with their snow-show regulars stopping by. A pretty white adorned the homes of the town, as neighbors said hello and found themselves shoveling a couple of times during the day — all right, at least a few of them.

We are guessing that climate change means things shift around — like a late winter snow — i.e., “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” The cherry blossoms cannot come soon enough — they will be late, too.
