Snowball fight on the National Mall

Washingtonians pelted each other with snowballs on the National Mall after Sunday's snowfall (FOX 5 DC / Jesse Burkett-Hall).

Big, organized snowball fights have a bit of tradition in the nation's capital.

FOX 5 has chronicled similar events in Dupont Circle and Meridian Hill Park. 

And with more snow on the way Monday, there's a chance for Round 2 too.
