The storm of 26 days ago is still here, having barely melted for three weeks and now slowly disappearing. Just when we thought we’d get a reprieve with temperatures rising last Sunday, hard rain came down:
Because of the rain on Sunday, the Mardi Gras festival at The Wharf was postponed, but the Mardi Gras event on H Street got in some festivities before the rain got too bad.

Two weeks after the storm, the snow hadn’t melted at all, as seen from these photos from the top of the Washington Monument.
The last to melt?
Some of the snow piles may not melt for a long time. This impressive pile, by the Capitol Reflecting Pool, was 8 feet tall in some places a couple of days ago (more than 3 weeks after the storm).
