Most of the region running above average for snowfall this season so far! ❄️ ☃️
Snowiest December in DC and many nearby spots since 2017. The 2018-2024 period had only 0.6 inches in total for the month.
Can we add more over next two weeks? Details at cwg.live.

This year $34 for July 4 (Pirates)

1. For at least 10 years, Pepsi has conspired with Walmart to force up grocery prices. That’s the shocking evidence made public today in an unsealed FTC lawsuit. The suit was abandoned in May by the Trump FTC just before it was to be un-redacted. We went to court to get it unsealed & won.

Just what we were all hoping for: a December Sunday featuring meaningless football for the local team, and wind chills crashing through the teens, perhaps into the single digits by evening.
Here's the wind chill drop expected Sunday after whatever snow we end up getting in the early-morning hours.

Remeber the racoon that broke into a VA ABC (alcohol) store and got drunk and passed out? (Close to my house too). Welllll… The ABC is now using a racoon to promote products lol.
