Curl up with some hot chocolate and check out a live view of Washington, D.C., as it gets hammered by 18 to 30 inches of snow this weekend.

The stream -- complete with a somewhat inexplicable looping synth soundtrack -- shows the view from the Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's U.S. Capitol balcony looking out onto the national mall. It's usually one of the most impressive views of the city, but you wouldn't know it judging by the current live shot:

Usually, the Washington Monument is easily seen from the balcony, but at the time of this writing, the icon is already obscured by quickly falling snow.

Come for the live stream of the snow, stay for sick beats: https://t.co/wgiojgtsPV— Brendan Buck (@BrendanBuck) January 22, 2016

Aside from the pumping tunes, the view from the balcony is actually pretty calming, so sit back, relax, and experience the D.C. storm in the most comfortable way possible: from behind a computer screen.
