The weekend is here — and it’s expected to be a warm one for mid-February.
It’s going to be warm enough that one might even forget we started the week with a significant snow and ice storm. Or that another storm — rain with some snow possibly mixed in — is in the works for next week.
A three-day weekend is here. And it’s going to be freezing cold all weekend. Sounds like a great opportunity to stay inside and watch some Netflix with your valentine, your roommates or anyone else who happens to be nearby.
Alternatively, if you want to head out and brave the cold, there’s an abundance of Valentine’s Day events and even an anti-Valentine’s-Day event to choose from in town. See our Arlington Agenda post and our full event calendar for event listings and details.
The weekend is here and the remnants of last weekend’s blizzard are continuing to melt.
Expect relatively mild temperatures this weekend and into next week, says the Capital Weather Gang.
This weekend will be another snowless one in Arlington — with the possible exception of Sunday night — much to the dismay of the 62 percent of you who took our poll and said you wanted to see more snow this winter.
Still, if you’re disappointed by the lack of the fluffy white stuff, hopefully you have a long weekend to look forward to since Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Happy New Year, Arlington!
The first full week of 2016 proved to be a busy one, from robberies — of both banks and pizzas — to the story of a good Samaritan helping an Arlingtonian in need get home, and everything in between.
The weekend is here. And it’s freezing.
The good news, for those who don’t need the Hollywood vision of a white Christmas to make the holiday merry, is that warmth will be returning. Forecasters say a record high temperature of 72 degrees is possible on Christmas Eve.
The County Board’s monthly meeting is tomorrow, and many conversations this week have been about what its members are expected to approve. Many of the items on the agenda focus on projects scheduled to take some serious steps forward in the next year.
Parks are certainly toward the front of the Board’s mind, having to consider awarding a contract to a construction company for the $1 million renovation of Tuckahoe Park and finalizing a land acquisition to continue expanding Benjamin Banneker Park.
And to those who celebrate Christmas but haven’t picked up a tree or decorated yet, you could find yourself falling behind the holiday cheer. There are, however, plenty of opportunities for you to catch up, especially with the sunny weather expected this weekend.
There are holiday markets and festivals at churches and schools this weekend. Celebrating with an experience is another way to get into the spirit, either by going to a performance of The Nutcracker, bringing your family to a sing-along or attending a holiday concert. See our event calendar for details.
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!
Feel free to discuss what you’re thankful for this year — if you haven’t already — or any issue of local interest in the comments.
It’s going to be a chilly weekend, and we might even see our first freeze of the season on Sunday.
Planning on staying in, staying warm and binging on Netflix? Or perhaps heading out for a morning race for a good cause?
With Thanksgiving less than two weeks away, it might be time to get some work done around the house before the in-laws arrive or you head out of town for the holiday.
Feel free to discuss anything of local interest in the comments. Have a nice weekend!
The overall party affiliation of those on the Arlington County Board might not be changing on Jan. 1, but that doesn’t mean the status quo from a policymaking perspective.
Democrats Katie Cristol and Christian Dorsey will bring a fresh perspective to the Board, following their lopsided victory in Tuesday’s election.
