Washington, DC in Full Bloom
The cherry blossoms are in full bloom in Washington, DC. Despite recent cold weather and rain, the trees are showing their all their beauty.
And the cold hasn’t stopped people from bundling up in winter clothes and lining up to rent a paddle boat on the Tidal Basin either.
So far this Spring, the high temperatures have been sticking between 45 and 55 degrees, a near 30 degree drop from the balmy temps last year, when highs cracked 80 degrees and made for comfortable touring.
This weekend, the temps should reach highs into the 60s, with Sunday being the only day forecast for sunny conditions. In case you don’t get a chance to see the trees by this weekend, here’s a quick tour from photos I took on Wednesday.
