Current snow forecast for DC is for up to about 20" over the weekend, which is double the level at which cannibalism becomes temporarily legal under local law.

@mattblaze@federate.social 30 seconds? Pretty long but exposure looks pretty much perfect. Very sharp lens too - the text above Lincoln is easily legible. Four score, so 80 megapixel? - means the image could be printed very large.
