1. It was frigid today with brutal wind chill

but totally worth it for seeing cherry blossoms at Stanton Park and the Capitol area parks before they blow away.

2. Did you go out???

Not I! 40 degrees here now, and wind's been +nw 20mph for HOURS.

6. Heat and thunderstorms are related

Thunderstorms thrive under certain conditions. The two most basic elements that cause a thunderstorm to develop are:

Moisture
Rapidly rising warm air

Why are there more thunderstorms during the summer? https://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/question646.htm

8. Right. Weird weather, this week.

More wind tomorrow, forecast hi 44, moving up Tues and Wed, WAY up Thurs with rain. Friday 'best' day, hi 63, partly cloudy.

5. Yes, I love going out in the cold more than the heat

I wore warm socks, a down jacket, and warm hat. Perfect for having fewer tourists out seeing cherry blossoms because they were unprepared.

7. GOOD!

Definitely fewer tourists!

The wind here kept me in.

Used to work near Tidal Basin, so had many lunch time Cherry Blossom Time walks.
