Washington DC turns into ski resort
WASHINGTON: Cars vanished from the snow-clogged US capital, as thousands of winter revellers strapped on skis, while others did battle in a fierce mass snowball street fight.
In the city of power suits and stilettos, the newest fashion musthaves were snow shoes and thermal coats as a record-breaking blizzard dumped just under 60cm of snow on some parts of Washington.
The nation’s landmarks, such as the White House, were blanketed in white, while the national mall which links Capitol Hill and the Lincoln Memorial became a giant pedestrian playground.
At the hip Dupont Circle area, a mass snowball fight organised via the Facebook social networking site gathered more than 1,000 people after 6,000 said they were planning to join.
Earlier in the day, a German woman was out for a walk in her snowshoes in central Washington.
“I was being paranoid staying at home,” she said, casually sipping coffee. She was in full ski gear – red ski jacket, black ski pants and a purple bobble hat.
“It’s like being in the Alps,” said the woman, a former ski instructor from Gottingen in Germany. She works for the IMF and asked not to be named.
“I have Alpine skis but the city is too flat. Yesterday I wanted to buy some cross-country skis but there were none left in the shops, just like all the shovels had sold out,” she said.
Just behind her jogged up Alix Lawe, who works with the US Air Force and was out for her daily run. “It’s so fun. I’m from Florida, I’ve never seen so much snow,” she said gleefully.
