Highlights:  Snowball fights broke out all across the DC area on Saturday as more than two feet of snow hit the area.

When two feet of snow falls in a city famous for fighting on Capitol Hill, residents are out in – reportedly by the thousands – to partake in organized snowball fights across the area.
