Here in the DC Metro, we are snowed in. Around two feet of snow down already, and it's still coming. We're looking at another 6" - 8" before it stops. The wind is now kicking in, causing major drifting (when I opened my front door to go out and take pictures, I had to wade through snow above my waist).  I'm pretending like we're not on yearbook deadline right now.

From the State of the Union address to the Grammys, Twitter—and how news organizations use it—continues to amaze me.
