Washington DC’s First Snow Fall 2007
December 6th, 2007 Categories: Shirlington, The Road Less Taken
As I sit here watching press conferences and listen to talking heads about new plans to the sub-prime loan “crisis” I am going through some pictures I took during yesterday’s snowfall.
It was a nice snow. Just enough to cover everything with snow but the streets here in Arlington. Maybe a little more further out in Fairfax and Loundon Counties. It was peaceful, unlike what’s going on today with everyone trying to understand what’s going on in the sub-prime mortgage industry.
Before I have to figure out what’s going on so I can explain it to my clients, I’m taking some time out to enjoy one of winter’s few pleasures.
Fairlington’s peaceful with it’s snow covered grand old trees.
The Christimas tree is Shirlington.
Ok, back to work.
Mary,
I just heard from some past clients that have moved to the D.C. area as a result of a transfer. It was funny to hear that they did not have enough confidence to drive in that weather. The pictures are great, thanks for sharing.

Chad: Driving is always a bog issues here. People forget how to drive, commuting slows down to hours and you wold think we lived in a place that never gets snow! When in reality, we get at least 3 major snow events a year.
Sometimes I miss the snow…but not too often. I don’t miss playing “bumper cars” in the snow either.
Thanks for the pictures Mary! It will be 70 in Charlotte today, near 80 tomorrow…not feeling too much like Christmas, Terry McDonald
It is 80 degrees here in Port Orange FL! Just doesn’t feel like the holidays without snow!
Mary - What a beautiful walk through Arlington. I love the first snow - too bad you had to go back to work:)

Mary I just love these photos! We haven’t had much snow here yet. Just a sprinkling. I really enjoy Christmas tree photo. - Ashley
Those are beautiful pictures. I agree they are very peaceful, and the weather looks cold in Arlington. My kids are begging to see snow, but we live in Florida and I don’t know what to tell them. We’ll just have to travel north one winter. Thanks for the beautiful pictures and the updates on the Arlington real estate market. Happy Holidays.
