20F/~-6C with light wind (of the head variety, of course). A sunny, near 40F day yesterday cleaned up the cleared roadways pretty nicely. Still some icy bits here and there, though. I was watchful on my way home yesterday to see where they might be this morning.

Could have easily done without the studs today--but I took my slower, less-clear alternate route and was glad to have 'em. I do believe they will come off for the weekend, though. Supposed to be pretty nice. At my job I perform best when I am most cynical and suspicious--so when I see a forecast high of near 50F for February 1, my instincts tell me to look around for the other shoe to drop. Maybe next week when the ingredients may be in place for a nor'easter. Those are the storms which can really dump some snow on DC. They aren't rare, per se, but they are infrequent, and it's been a couple of years since we had a real good one.

Uh-oh...
