Oh, poor Davy DCist. All he wanted was to join the rest of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area in their breathless frenzy for basic sundries. Alas, not much unlike you, I, and everyone else we know, Davy was no match for the bloodthirsty, ravenous THUNDERSNOW. I mean, look at that thing. Go outside? I don’t think so, buddy. I’ll stick in here with my coffee, thank you very much.

As of this moment, DCist headquarters has somewhere between six to eight inches outside its window, with the precipitation still falling heavily — which certainly means we’ll be having a snowtastic day around these parts. Keep it tuned here for updates.
