| Good morning, DMV. It’s Monday, Jan. 20, and just hours after this newsletter lands in your inbox, the nation’s former president becomes president again. The winds are shifting, and it’s bitterly cold out. Everyone I talk to these days feels unsteady, frayed, insecure. I keep telling myself to focus on the ground beneath my feet, the small circle around me. I reach out to friends so we can go on outings and share meals, tea and sympathy. Some days I just can’t muster the energy. This weekend, my daughter baked chocolate chip cookies and pulled our friend-group together. For a few hours, storytelling and laughter settled my mind. ☀️ Capital Weather Gang daily digit: 1/10. This will probably be the coldest Inauguration Day since President Ronald Reagan’s in 1985. Wind chills hover in the single digits to around 10 degrees for much of the day as gusts near 30 mph. Highs: 20 to 25. Highs: 20 to 25. Tomorrow: Less wind than Monday so, while temperatures are comparable, it doesn’t feel quite as cold. Still, there’s less sun and some snow flurries are possible in the afternoon. |
