Sledding, snowball fights, snowmen construction, cross-country skiing: Make sure you have some fun with all this snow while you can!
The good news for snow lovers is that this week will be cold, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the snow.
While the U.S. Capitol sledding hill isn't expected to be open because of Congressional proceedings, you can still check out Shepherd Elementary Field, Meridian Hill Park and Battery Kemble Park.
