The DC Department of Public Works brought in bobcats and shoveled the snow and ice in our alley so the trash could be picked up, which also gave residents a way to get out. Unfortunately, as has happened on streets all over the city, they didn’t remove the ice but instead left it in huge piles like this, one of several in our alley. The temperature will be well below freezing until Wednesday, when hopefully the ice will start melting

Happy to be inside, posted earlier:
