@SenDuckworth What about dads? 👀

BREAKING: The House just passed my bipartisan legislation to help make it easier for moms to get through airport security and travel with the breastmilk they need for their newborns. Now it heads to the President's desk to be signed into law.

@CarolineJo15316 @capitalweather @amelia_draper Yes, this is from tonight (Wednesday) and you may use it.

Very very faint aurora from Vienna, VA @capitalweather @amelia_draper

@CarolineJo15316 @capitalweather Yes, I took the photos and NBC4 has permission to use them. Thanks!

@gpalcher @capitalweather Hello! Reaching out from NBC4. Did you take this photo yourself? If so, will you give NBCU permission to share it on all our platforms and partners, with credit to you?

Nice little glimpse of the northern lights from Vienna, VA before the clouds rolled in @capitalweather

@flightradar24 We had some pretty spectacular views as we circled though…

Yesterday, United flight UA80 from New York to Nuuk diverted to Iceland. METAR reports showed wind gusts up to 70 knots in Nuuk around the scheduled arrival time.

@the_transit_guy Love taking the train from DC to Philly each winter to see family. But let’s be very clear, it’s *slower and more expensive* than driving. I do it for the experience so I can sit back and enjoy the trip (even if it’s rickety). Anything longer than that I will just fly.

The 80-year project to make this country completely car-dependent is complete, and now that you're trapped, you need to spend an average of $737 a month for your own economic and social mobility.

What kind of company advertises it will take 4 weeks to ship a piece of baby clothing just because it’s on sale? I guess @KyteBaby 😂 Plenty of other options out there, get your logistics together if you want orders. You can get furniture delivered faster than that.

@DCDPW This is a bit rich considering the only sections of sidewalk I had a problem with when I walked to work in DC were in front of / on city property. Why doesn’t this rule apply to DPW as well to clean city property?

❄️ Remember to shovel your sidewalks! Un-shoveled snow can create safety hazards that result in falls and injuries.  For the safety of all residents and business owners, DPW wants to remind citizens that it is their responsibility to shovel snow from their property within the first eight hours after a snow event. Let’s work together to keep our community safe and accessible for all. #SnowReadyDC

@evansammccann People will be pushed to season passes. $300/day for Whistler or $982 for an Epic season pass that includes Whistler and other resorts across the country. Doesn’t address crowds or food, but that’s the direction lift tickets are going.

Skiing is going to change. Day passes are insane (Whistler is $300+ a day) and the crowds are getting bigger every year. Food prices have increased a lot as well. I think we see people ski less often and do bigger trips. Go to more remote ski hills with less crowds, do cat and heli skiing, more back country skiing. Already seeing this trend shift.

@AdamRackis Absolutely not a boomer, but property taxes should restricted on how much the appraised value can be increased each year until the property is sold. Suburban sprawl or urban improvement should not force out long time homeowners whether they are retired or not.

My god I am so sick and tired of boomers pretending that moving into a smaller house is some kind of human rights abuse

@politicalmath Especially funny since India just requires an eVisa which is typically issued in under 24 hours.

I love this so much because Americans, as a rule, think that they can just waltz into any country they want partly because they think that anyone can waltz into America whenever they want

@jburroughsa @capitalweather 6 secs, f/5, ISO 1250

@gpalcher @capitalweather Exposure time?

Beautiful view of the comet tonight over Potomac. Clouds broke just in time! @capitalweather

NORTHERN LIGHTS TIMELAPSE OVER DC!!! Billie Mitchell shared with us this amazing timelapse of the aurora over the District Thursday night!!! This is so cool.

@NEstaphan Same! I’ve seen the northern lights in the arctic numerous times but I have never seen colors like this before (watching from Maryland tonight). Just incredible!

I have literally traveled the world in search of the Northern Lights and here I am chilling in my hometown when this happened! #wcvb #chronicle5

@capitalweather @amelia_draper @nbcwashington Looks like round 3 is starting up…. @capitalweather

The northern lights are visible from Potomac, MD with the naked eye. Quick pic from my iPhone even picks up the colors! @capitalweather @amelia_draper @nbcwashington

If you're seeing the Northern Lights tonight, here's an explainer of how the different colors can appear! We are currently seeing a vivid display of pinks and greens here at the office!
