The great December snowstorm of December 19, 2009 covered Colonial Village in 20.5" of snow. The storm, nicknamed "Capital Crippler," "Snowmageddon," "Snowpocalypse," and "SnowOMG" brought bus service and above ground Metrorail to a halt.

Dogs and residents alike were romping in the snow. With the County focusing on blowing the major streets, snow shovels were shared to help dig out cars.

Greenberry's stayed open til 5 pm on the day of the storm for those who needed a hot cup of coffee!
