Snowball fight tonight
The Capital Weather Gang is predicting a “snow thump” later tonight, with 4-8”+ of snowfall in D.C. and north and west suburbs. With those kind of predictions come sledding plans, pleas for days off from school, and… a giant snowball fight!! The Washington DC Snowball Fight Association, the group that was responsible for the 2000-strong flash mob snowball fight in Dupont Circle last February, has announced a massive snowball fight for 8 p.m. tonight in Dupont Circle.
