YouTuber amandareckonwith has made a beautiful, even haunting time lapse video of the punishing fallout from the so-called "Snowmageddon" or "Snowpocalypse" blizzard in the Washington, D.C. area from February 5-6. According to the video description, it was taken with a "Nikon D200 set to make an exposure every 5 minutes. 328 frames at 12 fps."

The NASA Earth Observatory has taken true-color satellite photos of Snowmageddon, everyone's favorite Beltway-crippling massive weekend snowstorm.
