WASHINGTON D.C. – With another Nor’easter hitting the east, residents in Washington, D.C. took full advantage of the winter wonderland on Wednesday.

The National Mall is usually a tourist spot to view the country’s heroism and tradition, but on the first day of spring it was an arena for a patriotic snowball fight.

This is the fourth Nor’easter in the last three weeks, which has brought snow to the eastern states and even tornadoes to some southern states.
