The National Weather Service called the storm "extremely dangerous." Officials urged people to huddle at home and out of the way of emergency crews. Forecasters said the storm could be the biggest for the nation's capital in modern history. A record 2? feet or more was predicted for Washington. As of early Saturday, 10 inches of snow was reported at the White House, while parts of Maryland and West Virginia were buried under more than 20 inches. Forecasters expected snowfall rates to increase, up to 2 inches per hour through Saturday morning. Blizzard warnings were issued for the District of Columbia, Baltimore, parts of New Jersey and Delaware, and some areas west of the Chesapeake Bay." I thought a little color would be appropriate today. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Larry+Z/Colors.jpg.html This is a scene in Masid Moth, a Moslem enclave in south New Delhi. It is about 1/2 mile from where I lived and was on my daily walk to work. The camera was a Rollei 35S, my pocket camera at the time. Larry Z
