EYE ON FREDERICK WEATHER

Happy Presidents' Day -- What a way to have the day off, huh? When I left WUSA, in northwest DC, shortly after 11am, I kept an eye on my car thermometer (not the trustiest measuring device on the planet, I know.) I did a double take when I got to the 270 split heading north to my beautiful Frederick, when the temperature was posting 72 degrees (!) It had jumped from 70 to 72 over the course of a minute. "We must be just ahead of the front", I thought to myself. Cumulus clouds were building on the north / northwestern horizon. "We must be spiking right before the FROPA", I kept thinking. (FROPA is old weather speak for "frontal passage".)
I continued northward to where I call home, Frederick, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the thermometer. Below is my

Don't get too used to this weather, though. Come tomorrow we'll be a

Thank you Kim - you're the only local meteorologist whose forecast was warm enough today. What a great day here in Oakton! Come on Spring!

Hi Kim! I love that you're using video in your blogs! I teach technology to 1st through 4th graders, so I love anything having to do with computers, cameras, iPods, you name it! And red velvet cake...yummm! I had never had it until last year, and had a huge piece when visiting Knoxville. We'll have to stop in Frederick on our way to Deep Creek next week! :) Have a great Tuesday!

You'll have to let me pick your brain about MACs...I think I want to buy one b/c of its editing capability...What do you think? Definitely try Proof's velvet cupcakes...ALL ABOUT YUM!
Hey Kim, I LOVE, LOVE my MacBook Pro. Two of my friends had bought them before I did and now there is no turning back (and when our Dell goes to Heaven, I'm going to lobby for a iMac Desktop. My mom has had a Mac for over 20 years and loves it too!) I'm really trying to learn all I can about it as well as the new Canon XTi Digital Rebel I received from my husband for Christmas. The Mac is awesome for working with photos and other media ~ my two friends have created photo DVDs of their kids to give to grandparents for Christmas. I made a photo dvd of my younger son's Spring soccer season to give to other members of the team. The software Aperature is supposed to be one of the best ~ I use iLife '08 (and my Canon came with software to edit photos that I haven't even touched yet!). Feel free to ask away! I don't mind! Also, another good resource is to go to the Apple Store. I also bought the extended warranty which covers 3 years of support (you lose support after 90 days, I think). I'm just watching the commercial for the MacBook Air ~ so cool! Here's a secret ~ go to apple.com, sign up/log in and go to the refurbished area of the "Store". My MacBook Pro is a refurbished one! Not one problem with it! And we WILL get to Proof!!!! I left my cake in my friend's fridge in Knoxville and I didn't realize it until we were to far on our way home!!!!!! Narmeen
