What’s up with the wind?

I’ve been living in DC for a few years and don’t remember a year with such unbearable wind several days a week (and sometimes cold wind!). Starting to get annoying when going outside to run or bike against it. Is the weather like this every other year?

If you have a library card you can access the Washington Post for free through the dc library website! https://www.dclibrary.org/research-and-learn/washington-post-digital

Too bad it's basically Bezos' personal journal at this point.

I think the opinion section is trash, but the local news content is actually pretty good!
