Weather review ★★★★ Vienna, VA

★★★★ Four of Five starsThe birds are euphoric this morning, carousing like late-night drunks who found the advancing sunrise as a challenge to keep making noise. Beneath their chorus, the bulldog stops cold in his tracks, the day after his first birthday, dumbfounded that a season has changed. His little wrinkled face had been despondent for weeks, completely unaware that the air would ever warm again; now he snorts in Spring's miracle through a not-frozen nose, happily. Yesterday, high temperatures set historical records across the region. Today the tips of Summer's sweaty fingers continue prodding early March, as blustery clouds grumpily settle, then artlessly blow away, mumbling about when they might return.
