Hundreds of people took part in an organized snowball fight in Washington DC’s Dupont Circle, organized by The Washington D.C. Snowball Fight Association.

“We provisionally scheduled the main event for Saturday at noon… but it’s pretty obvious that blizzard conditions will make things a tad risky for a big gathering. So we are now aiming for Sunday morning at 10am,” said a posting on the Association’s Facebook page.

As Sunday morning came around, the snow had stopped, the sun was out and conditions were perfect as hundreds of people joined in the fun.
