Hi again. I'm writing from the Northeast DC area next to Prince George’s County. I just came back from walking around this neighborhood. I could hardly stay out there for less than 30 minutes, the weather is extremely cold and more snow keeps falling, winds are moderate, there is about 8-9 inches accumulated on the streets. Tonight it will be freezing.
Update: 9:45 PM
This has been one of the heaviest snow storms in recent decades in Washington, DC, and it has affected most of the northeas region in the United States. Some areas in DC received up to 16-20 inches of snow.
I recorded this video in this neighborhood in NE DC bordering with Prince Georges County, MD, where we had about 20 inches of snow. I speak in Spanish in the two first minutes:

Immigrants Among Most Affected
While outside I run into a man who was walking from a store located 2 miles away. He was wearing clothes that weren't appropiate for this cold weather, his legs were wet and he was holding two bags of food. The man was an immigrant from El Salvador, and he said he didn’t know anything about the storm until last night, so he had to get some food. He said he saw several cars abandoned in the roads.
Down the street a group of cars were stuck in the snow. One of them was a car that passed by me driving backwards, it was a father and his son -immigrants from Honduras- coming back home from work, risking their lives even though authorities in Prince George’s county have ordered all drivers to stay home. I asked them also if they had taken any provisions to face this weather, then again they've heard little information about this snow storm.

We have around 14 inches of snow here.
These are photos I took around 3:00 PM today.
