The Clinton's '93 Xmas salute to American Crafts. Six trees each with a singularly or mostly made ornament with materials: paper, fiber, wood, ceramics, glass, or metal.

Stayed over. Next morning the snow that was supposed to start mid morning or so came earlier: 1/4+ inch by 10AM. Walked around in my sneakers.

Back on The Metro, after walking to the bus earlier: at 3PM all the Non-essential workers were let out.
Suddenly, it was like NYC Rush Hour! 😄

By the time I took photos on the National Mall of The Capitol at a dark 5PMish it was 3" - 4" inches, before I left to take the train home.
.Had to be careful walking; but way more used to it than DC'rs. I still had a great time.
