It’s been another week of weather ups and downs — and plenty of local news of note.
Here are the most-read stories of the past five days:

It’s Presidents Day weekend — or George Washington Day weekend, if you’re fancy and in Virginia — which means a three day weekend for many.
Well, not for the staff of ARLnow. Vern and the crew will be working all day Monday. Don’t expect much in terms of news articles, though — we’ll be working on some future stories and new initiatives.
After a soggy week, a dry (weather-wise, at least) weekend is upon us.
Without further ado, here are the most-read articles of the past five days:
It has been a great 10th anniversary week for ARLnow — thanks again to everyone who came out to celebrate Wednesday night.
The weekend is here and that means a look back at the most-read articles of the past week.
It’s looking like a rainy night in Arlington — though those with evening plans that end before midnight should be fine.
Period of HEAVY rain possible overnight Friday into Saturday morning in DMV.
* Rain most likely between 1a and 10a, heaviest 3a to 8a
* A few areas of flooding not out of question
* 1 to 1.5 inches most likely
* Temps mid-40s to low 50s. No snow!https://t.co/1zWCDbPRMk
A three day weekend is here, meaning extra rest and relaxation for many, and no need to feed the parking meter on Monday.
Some snow and freezing precipitation may make for hazardous travel on Saturday — even though Arlington is outside the current Winter Weather Advisory — so be careful if you’re on the roads. The main event in Arlington on Sunday, other than the NFL playoffs on TV, will be the scheduled Martin Luther King Jr. tribute at Wakefield High School.
It was a cold and snowy week in Arlington, and your ARLnow team is exhausted.
There was a lot to cover during a week in which most of the office was ailing with a cold bug that seems to be going around.
It was a slow, holiday-shortened week in Arlington that saw the calendar turn to the neatly symmetrical year of 2020.
(Pro tip: there’s no need to comment with “slow news week?” on a week that’s obviously a slow news week.)
The end of a holiday-shortened week is here.
For those in the office and working this week, we salute you. For those who left town, we hope you have a relatively painless return journey amid the holiday travel rush.
It has been a cold and active week, both weather-wise and news-wise.
Luckily, after a cloudy and cold Saturday, milder temperatures and a stretch of fair weather is on tap for at least the next week. And, barring breaking news, starting Tuesday ARLnow will be switching to a reduced publishing schedule around the holidays, giving the hard-working people who bring you the news a chance to take a little break after a busy year.
The third installment in ARLnow’s 2019 local apparel collection has arrived and it’s the perfect gift for the South Arlington resident in your life who likes geographically specific shirts.
Whether you live in Crystal City, Pentagon City, Shirlington, Fairlington, Green Valley, Glencarlyn, Arlington Mill, Forest Glen, Barcroft, Alcova Heights, Arlington Heights, Penrose, Foxcroft Heights, Arlington View, Columbia Heights, Arlington Forest (the southern portion), Douglas Park, Columbia Forest, Claremont, Long Branch Creek, Arlington Ridge, Aurora Highlands, or in a van down by the river — did we cover all options? — this shirt proudly declares that living below Route 50 is totally cool.
The first week of December was a busy one in Arlington, complete with lots of news, as well as a bevy of holiday and winter events — including the tree lighting ceremony in Shirlington last night, pictured above.
This weekend will bring more events, including a holiday extravaganza in Ballston on Saturday. The weather will be cold, but dry, on Saturday and Sunday for those heading to any events, stringing up lights, or picking up a Christmas tree.
