Neighbors pitch in with the shoveling in Bethesda, Md. after a major storm dumped record snowfall on the Washington, D.C. region. (Submitted photo)
As the snow piled up on Saturday, a video from the Arlington County Fire Department took off. The video, tweeted out by the fire department around noon that day, showed a T-Rex clearing clearing snow from around a fire hydrant. The message was clear: If a predatory dinosaur with useless little arms can shovel snow, so can you.
But here's a secret: that wasn't a real T-Rex. And the video wasn't filmed around here.
"The actual video was not filmed in Arlington," said Jamie Jill, the Arlington firefighter who originally shared the clip. "It was at my sister's home in Bethesda."
And it was Jill's nine-year-old niece Janelle who played the role of the âcivically mindedâ lizard, he added.

Not in Arlington but in Bethesda...
What are they, about half a tank of gas away from each other?

The Triceratops would make a good snow plow.
To: Larry Lucido
Lol! But it's actually not a triceratops, but rather a close relative of one known as a "centrosaurus". They had just one large horn at the front, as opposed to the two near the eyes of the triceratops.

So, the unicorn of dinosaurs!
To: Larry Lucido
Looking at it again I think it’s actually a different relative of triceratops. Because it has long spikes along its frill, as opposed to little nubby things. I don’t know the name of it, but there were a whole lot of different similar looking dinosaurs. They were in the category “ceratopsian”.
