Happy Valentine’s Day 😍❤️
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
The weather keeps changing,
And so do you.

Love and weather have a lot in common—both can be unpredictable, a little wild, and full of surprises. So we made some Valentine's cards to match. ❤️⛈️☀️

Happy Valentine’s Day!

The Potomac water temp is around 36°F posing extreme hypothermia risk for AA flight 5342 survivors. Hypothermia can set in at those temperatures in just 30 minutes.

Weather was not a factor, with clear skies and calm winds.

Hoping and praying for a miracle. Such a tragedy and heartbreaking news 💔

❄️Happy Winter!

Winter began this morning at 4:21

If you're like me and dislike the early sunsets, they'll now start
happening later each day.
