74 with peaks of sunshine. Spent a few more hours with yard clean-up. I’m itching to plant some new flowers, shrubs, and trees but need to wait a few more weeks.
Screw the cold coming. I'm more interested in what's after that - with this pattern below, I'd expect more seasonal to slightly above temps (given how we overperform on temps anyways).
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
