Beginning in the February 2026 Thread, I will start a page about loving and worshipping snow.
What started this little slog?
Yesterday. Watertown, NY. The camera. I saw they got close to 2 feet of fresh pow. I watched it come down.
Now, I want this fate for DCA and vicinity. It would be so wonderful if the public had to deal with 24 inches of fresh snow on top of the glacial catastrophe that is the present DMV.
Age has done me NO good. I do not have wisdom. Wisdom and maturity are both grossly overrated.
Snow is Number One. More than things, people or even life itself. Having deep ice underneath is even better. Sidewalks are unpassable. People fall. They end up in the streets where automobiles tend to slam on the brakes, and, well you know what happens next.
It's gonnabe the worst of the Jebman, and the Best of the Jebman.
Get a steel square edged shovel with a fiberglass handle. This is a Jebman Shovel. Use it. You'll need it. Much more winter weather is on the way for Washington DC.
Get Spotify on your phone and get headphones. Blast those tracks that remind you of heavy snow. Start taking jebwalks and slide on the ice while shouting Woooooooo----Hooooooo because you're so damn happy there's ice and frigid weather in DC.
Put your hands in cold water then walk around on the Washington Glacier and FEEL that wind! Feel those low dewpoints! Breathe it in DEEP!
This is NO time to be on that damn couch, stuffing jelly donuts and getting fat. It's high time to channel the Hero within yourself and get the pick, a sledge and the shovel and start removing the ice from DC, one agonizing chip at a time.
One more important thing. Ji said I am 12 years old. He's correct, except that I'm really 5. This, is why I worship snow still, in early 2026. You'd think I'd know better after five years. But, I don't. I don't understand why I can somehow remember storms as far back as January 19, 1979 in Alexandria. Or the fact that once we didn't have the Internet. Or reel to reel technology. Landlines, cassette tapes, the Greaseman in DC in the 1980s, tie dyed shirts, the Summer of Love in 1969, and a lot of other stuff. The BLIZZARD on March 13, 1993. The Infamous Ice Storms in northern Va in Jan-Feb 1994, and others. Not bad for a five year old, huh?
Oh, and Ji? I still crave for that Carolinas blizzard to hit DCA so hard with 12-24 inches of fluffy snow, right smack-dab on top of the Washington DC Glacier! I want this SO BAD!!!
Let's have a Jan 25, 2000 Redux! Let's will this in!
