On March 4, 1797, George Washington attended the inauguration of his successor, John Adams. By attending the inauguration, Washington created a precedent which has been followed for the past two-hundred and twenty-three years whenever a new president assumes the office.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas ... or at least it was on Friday, as the first named winter storm of the season, Atticus, blanketed the area with 11.5 inches of snow. This week’s warm temperatures in the mid to upper 40s should leave little of the white stuff behind. The next chance of precipitation is Wednesday, with a 60% chance of rain changing to snow and accumulations around an inch. Temperatures will drop as that system moves through, so any snow that falls will likely remain for awhile.
