Living it up tonight on Fat Tuesday with margaritas (I'll regret this tomorrow). Lent starts tomorrow with Ash Wednesday - giving up sweets and pasta and I'm going to try to do Stations of the Cross on Fridays at our church.
I'm in Alexandria (vs downtown/DC) but would think its probably the same there. This is basically consistent vs prior years when the first/South facing flowers bloomed. Also saw a few forsythias in bloom yesterday running errands around here.
Inside the Beltway is basically a tropical island
Made the same comment the other day to a friend of mine. Eerily similar to when Hitler claimed Sudentenland in the Munich Agreement then proceeded to invade the rest of Czech (and well, the rest is history).
Get your backup generator ready.
Also should add precip is still ongoing as the run ended so the northern tier would see higher totals than depicted on the map.
