It was NYC's biggest snowstorm. I'll take that any day of the week, even if the rest of the winter is shit.
-
High of 71 today at DCA. Man - doesn't get much better.
-
and now you're much closer to the train with the silver line! Mid 60s here - just gorgeous.
-
If anyone is thinking about going down to the Mall / Tidal Basin - do. not. drive. Metro is crowded but you'll get there.
-
yeah it's getting real dicey down there for this afternoon. I hope folks are prepared.
-
Yeah Carolina has had some beast-level teams over the past 15 years or so. Must be nice to have your team just beat the shit out of everyone the entire way. When UVA won it in 2019, I think a few years were taken off my life lol.
-
Actually '09 Carolina is probably the best comparison - they won every game by double-digits en route to a championship. Pretty much wall-to-wall domination.
-
I can't think of a team recently that has done this in the first 4 games - 2016 'Nova comes close, but jfc.
-
Also Gonzaga is missing basically everything.
-
lookin like that 2014 team...
-
blowing the doors off - goodness
-
yeah - only using your mirrors is really bad advice. Also - real city driving requires 100% focus. The number of folks driving in DC proper I see on their phones is just astounding. You have to be paying attention to everything - all the other vehicles (where they might stop suddenly for no apparent reason), pedestrians, bikes, delivery trucks, emergency vehicles, buses, etc etc.
-
Miami just hit another gear - they looked really impressive.
-
This has been happening a lot lately, where you look at the distribution of temperatures for a given date at a given hour (these are usually normally distributed - so a bell curve), and we keep having instances where we are WAYYYY down the right tail of these distributions, i.e. temperatures that are rarely seen at that hour for that date.
-
Yeah looks like DCA touched 71 during the 1am EDT hour, which will count for today lol.
-
75/56 here - just awesome out. No northern lights to be seen with all the light pollution here lol
-
If that were happening, what effect would that have on the weather we experience?
-
it's amazing the excuses we hear. when you are driving around pedestrians, bikers, road workers, etc - the driver needs to be the most responsible one because they are operating the machine that could easily kill everyone else. and we wonder why this country has the highest rate of vehicle-related injuries and deaths in the developed world.
-
yeah but there is action for tickets that go unpaid. DC can't enforce any of that with out-of-state drivers.
-
71 here as well - yeah I feel like by late March most of the records are gonna be 80+.
-
Should be opening in May they say - although the board argued today whether it would turn back at Mt Vernon Sq or at Fort Totten.
-
I think Metro is getting there (yesterday they recorded 404k trips, which is about 65-70% of prepandemic ridership) - the new GM gets it. We'll see how the next year goes. Paul Wiedefeld - the prior GM - really left the agency in a cluster with the 7000-series trains. They have finally found the issue with that, so 100% of trains should be available by late spring.
-
Of course you do some of this stuff, and some people complain "oh what about my parking" or "now this is so inconvenient for me!" - as if folks' lives are less important. I mean for fuck's sake, you live in a major city - it's not all about you and your personal vehicle.
-
the pressure is definitely ratcheting up on the mayor and the city to do something about it - we'll see what happens. I mean there are ways to redesign streets in a way that forces people to slow down - and some of that is happening - but you also have to get the lawless drivers off the roads as well.
-
lol - doesn't stop folks here!
