Well, we’re in it again.? Today started the beginning of a huge snow storm blowing over DC and the surrounding areas.? As of 10pm, we are under a blizzard warning until 10pm tomorrow Feb. 6 and they are saying we could get up to 30 inches of snow or more.

Snowfall as of 9pm

Now I love snow.? And truthfully, I’m excited to be in my first blizzard warning.? Of course I want everyone to be safe and warm all that jazz, but this is just cool.? And obviously, this kind of weather calls for more warm beverages . . . preferably those of the alcoholic variety.? In my last post, I gave you the Celestial Warmer.

Non-Union
5.0 oz African Roobios Tea, hot
1.5 oz Mezcal, I used Ilegal Mezcal
0.5 oz agave syrup
1 very long strip of grapefruit peel

Pour syrup and mezcal into a glass or mug and stir to combine.? Brew the tea and pour into your container of choice, stirring to combine.? Cut a long strip of grapefruit peel over the glass and throw it in.? Enjoy.

Finally, I’ve had some folks ask me about how much snow we’ve had so far in DC.? I decided to take a little video and share it with everyone.? This video was taken on my balcony around 11pm Friday, Feb. 5 2010. The noise you hear in the video is the wind.

Tomorrow I’ll post another video that shows the overnight accumulation. And, of course, another warm drink!

Cheers!
