Most-read Arlington stories of the week: Nov. 8-12, 2021

All told, it was a pretty great week weather-wise. Alas, another cool stretch is arriving just in time for the weekend, before mid-week warm-up.

The good news is that if you ignore the chilly temperatures, peak fall foliage is finally here in the D.C. area.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Meteorological winter is a mere 2.5 weeks away and by then most of those leaves will be brown or on the ground.
