Happy hump day, Washington! With this wintry mix, it seems like the warm days we were having only a couple of weeks ago are a very, very distant memory. The snow may seem pretty now, but it's likely to change to messy rain later today. Boo.
We've got something to keep you thinking warm thoughts, though—our roundup of Mardi Gras events and parties going on this weekend. Bonus: check back later today for a guide to Oscar screenings and parties.
Via DCist, we see that gossip site Jossip has named Mayor Adrian Fenty one of the five currently least-annoying people in the media. Hooray? He gets the honor for "being able to host the inauguration without anyone getting killed."
