OPT OUT
❄️ 🥁Our first snowfall map is out!!!
Here we go...subject to change:
• Beltway: 5–10"
• SE areas.: 4–8"
• Far NW areas: 8–14"
Change to sleet will cut down snow totals Beltway + SE but result in hard-to-shovel mess.
Full briefing: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

The ‘deck’ in “Deck the Halls” means “to decorate.”
But, it is not related or a shortening of ‘decorate.’
It comes from the Dutch word meaning “to cover.”
You also use it when you’re all “decked out.”

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

What many people don't understand is that they should be using AI to reduce the length of their documents not increase it.

lede = introductory section in journalism
bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information
Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

Be on the lookout for the supermoon 🌝 rising in the east!
It's the first of 3 consecutive supermoons to end 2025. AKA the Harvest Moon, since it's closest full moon to the equinox.
Nice view of it from Ron Cohn/Flickr this morning.
