NEW YORK (AP) A grab bag of weather conditions including snow and sleet will descend on communities from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, but with many people off for Washington's Birthday, it might be just another day to hunker down.
After much of the Northeast experienced record cold on Valentine's Day, the National Weather Service said Monday that it would be snowy in many areas before sleet or freezing rain started and rain finally arrived.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said she deployed the D.C. snow team Sunday ahead of the storm, which is expected to deliver a sloppy mix of snow, sleet and rain. One to 3 inches is forecast for Monday.
Outside the nation's capital, the Virginia Department of Transportation staged nearly 2,500 trucks to treat and clear roads.

(796 posts)Our cat loves to rest on our hot air vent. We think with all the food and exercise metabolic activity we provide she could at least warm up our feet.
In fact, she is warmer than us (cats' internal temperature is about 101 degrees, vs. our 98.6). We keep our house at about 66 degrees, and the bedroom over night goes down to 55. The cat comes up and burrows under the blankets!
