Stage 4, peduncle elongation! Peak bloom still looks to be March 28 - April 3. Today is our last day in the 70s for the next ten, so this will slow the progression down. Make your peak bloom projection on https://t.co/Y08Dgqhn7r

Ok good bet schools are closed tomorrow. I think smaller districts like DC and places that get less snow to the north COULD have school on Thursday with a delay or normal opening. We should be back to normal by Friday *if* the kids have school (Presidents' Day on Monday).

Confidence is increasing for the potential of accumulating snow Sunday across the area. If this threat materializes, it may cause travel disruptions. This forecast will evolve over the next couple of days, so monitor https://t.co/ZOlvEShgSf
