MUSIC NEWS: @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social is unveiling a new bill that would restrict the resale of concert and show tickets on the secondary market, putting a cap on how much tickets can be marked up on sites like StubHub and banning the sale of tickets on sites before venues start selling.

The Bad Bunny Tiny Desk is up @beckyhammer.bsky.social and anyone who need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Another week flew by with some more fun photos. Hope you all enjoyed the lovely, unseasonably warm weather. Here's some things I saw:

@capitalweather.bsky.social beautiful clouds in VA Beach this evening. Do you know caused the blue/pink colors?

Anyone else having every 311 parking violation request automatically closed within seconds of uploading and no one is enforcing?😱

What? A post? I haven't posted in two months! Well, I'm getting myself together and experimenting with photo posts to stay in touch. Don't worry, I'll still write an occasional blog post about boat maintenance/life. Let me know what you think in the comments. #boatlife #cherryblossoms #washdc

Good morning, DC! Ran to Hains Pt yesterday and the blossoms are popping 🍾🌸! Also dinghyed with friends in the evening and sat the bridge piling lights have been changed to #pink for #Bloomaroo at the Wharf this weekend. @capitalweather.bsky.social #cherryblossom #boatlife #washingtondc #dmv

@capitalweather.bsky.social went for an evening run to check on the blossoms popping on the SW Waterfront and Hains Pt ...🍾 🌸 #cherryblossoms #cherryblossfest

#wildrover continues and we're now on my dock, Y dock, where I've made the best Black and Tan ever (Raised by Wolves with Guinness and green edible glitter). Cheers to spring and the start of the #boating season! #boatlife #washingtondc #dmv

This #WildRover party is about to get started ... with a custom-made drink tower by one of Y dock's most talented residents, filled with "mermaid tears," a rum-based drink ☘️ #boatlife #washingtondc #boating #dmv

Perfect morning for a farmers market burrito and a coffee on the aft deck. #boatlife #washingtondc

Got a full spring experience today. Quick paddle in Mather Gorge at Rocky, followed by run around tidal basin to check how the blossoms are doing. Most have not yet unfurled, but I found one tree by FDR Memorial that is pooping! 🍾 🌸 #boatlife #washingtondc #dmv #potomac #cherryblossoms #spring

Yesterday we burned socks as part of an old maritime tradition to welcome spring. We were also treated to a beautiful sunset. www.spinsheet.com/news/why-we-... #boating #boatlife #washingtondc #cheasapeakebay

This will be interesting for boaters: the section of the navigable channel next to the American Airlines Flight 5342 and Black Hawk crash site has been permanently marked "no wake." Undoubtedly, many boaters will not be accustomed to slower travel in this section of the river.

Good morning, DC! Chilly and gusty, but hopefully calmer by this evening. Woke up rocking to strong wind gusts this morning. Beautiful sunset last night and got a run in to FDM Bridge over the Anacostia. So great to see the old bridge turret has finally been completely removed!

Got in a nice dinghy ride at dusk last night and caught up with a neighbor. Then, had a nice view of moonset this morning.

First time ever snowboarding at Monarch. Awesome mountain and certainly hope to plan more trips here in the future.

Beautiful on the Washington Channel this evening

@capitalweather.bsky.social pretty sunrise this morning!

Ended the day yesterday with glorious sunshine and started this morning with a good view of the moonset. Have a great start to the week, everyone!

Didn't quite make it home for sunset, but caught a beautiful moment at dusk.

Good morning. It’s Tuesday! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Thinking of getting one of these for my 2nd gen (2014) Tacoma to replace the current radio with one that can use Android Auto. Also want the OEM backup camera to continue functioning. Anyone have experience with this model or alternative recommendations? www.joyingauto.com/joying-9-inc... #taco

Still windy out there but not as bad as yesterday! Gusting to 30 to 40 mph this morning. Wind advisory until noon. Here were some of Sunday's peak gusts. More info at cwg.live

Went on an interesting hike yesterday in the Forest of Hope at Oregan Ridge: It's a beautiful art installation and you should check it out if you get the chance: www.baltimorestation.org/2017/10/the-...

@capitalweather.bsky.social SW DC this evening

The silence of the city during snowfall is something that everyone should go outside and experience. Don’t sit inside and wait for the morning—the magic is gone by then.

@capitalweather.bsky.social snow was beautiful near The Wharf this afternoon. However, seems to have paused for the moment.

Latest models tonight generally support forecast of 3-6" in Beltway area. But we're going to need to watch temps Tues. If they're on milder side, getting more than 3-4" could be tough. New discussion at cwg.live

Oh SW, let’s blossom together this Valentine’s Day! ♥️ Check out our Valentines Day Landscaping! 📍Luci Park 📍4th and G St 📍Independence and 7th 📍Medium on 7th near the Wharf

Welcome @pearljam.com to @bsky.app!

For the weather nerds who like to see what models are forecasting, here's the roundup within a one-county radius of DC. Pretty good consistency. Note these models don't take into account "wasted snow" that melts before it starts sticking. More at: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Throwback to fall 2024. Muskegon River Houghton Lake, Michigan Fujifilm X-H2 #fujifilmxh2 #fujixseries #landscapephotography #michigan #muskegonriver #contemporaryphotography #photography #BlueSkyArtShow

Turned out to be a lovely afternoon for a hike around Great Falls on the Maryland side.

Sunset run in SW/SE this evening @capitalweather.bsky.social

Wow that sunset! Did you catch it @capitalweather.bsky.social ?

Pancake ice not just forming on the Potomac River. Pam Franks of Columbia, Md. shared this example from Little Patuxent River in Savage, Md. More at cwg.live

@capitalweather.bsky.social wind is ripping on the Washington Channel right now, but the ice sheets that have started to melt with a thin layer of water on top make for some interesting "mirror-like" water.
