NEW: The National Weather Service has raised the winter storm threat to its highest level for Sunday for the entire DC region.
This means a high threat of a high impact winter storm that causes significant travel delays, closures and threats to life and property.

In a long, scathing interview, a member of the DC National Guard accuses the Trump administration of "parading [us] around to intimidate people." He talks candidly about what his deployment has been like.

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

Aurora a good bet this evening - look as soon as it gets dark.
At KP9, aurora is often viewable around DC even with urban lights.
Although aurora may be visible to the naked eye in such an intense event, cell phone cameras and other long-exposure photography will capture it more strongly.

We’ve been practicing independent life skills with our (nearly) 7 year old and today he 1) shopped at the grocery store by himself for a specific list while I waited by the checkout and 2) walked home himself on the other side of the street while we walked parallel.
