Georgetown Snow (Slush) Day Sightings: King Abdullah, Charles Barkley

WHAT THE SNOWFALL BECAME, A SLUSH BATH
I ventured  out this afternoon to see what was going on in Georgetown. Not much for the most part. A swarm of black SUVs were outside the Four Seasons Hotel, ready to take King Abdullah of Jordan to wherever. My sister-in-law and I had lunch at the bar at Bourbon Steak. On her way in to the hotel (though a line of security muscle) she saw, and had a nice conversation with, Charles Barkley. (No indication why Barkley was in town).

ONLY SOME OF THE SUVs PARKED OUTSIDE THE FOUR SEASONS FOR THE KING
There's a group of people who have made a snowday clubhouse out of the BS bar, and they were there, along with various Jordanian security types. The word around the bar was that the King, before he departed in the motorcade, had come down from his suite to have lunch at the restaurant.

After lunch we walked over to Baked & Wired for cupcakes and coffee. They were packed. 

BAKED & WIRED: PACKED

The streets were clear and nearly dry, except for the light mist of rain that fell all afternoon (until it turned to chips of ice). Most businesses were closed, including bars and restaurants. Even the Apple store was closed. But the liquor store was open.

THE APPLE STORE, CLOSED

THE LIQUOR STORE, OPEN

The sidewalks were more clear than I expected. The streets were so empty pedestrians had an options of walking on the sidewalks or in the street. The most treacherous part of walking was the slush pools at the curbs, which could result in an above ankle - and cold - plunge.
