Weather: You thought you’d just roll right into spring without winter, didn’t you? Well, that’s not the case – at least for this weekend, as DC is back on track toward winter temperatures. The rest of today will see clouds and a slight breeze with highs in the mid 40s and an evening in the low 30s – made just for your winter peacoat. Saturday and Sunday will see sun and some clouds, and on the upside, less wind! The highs will remain low – in the mid 40s – and the lows will drop even lower, in the the 30s on both days.

Awesome events you can attend this weekend: Should we pretend we’re surprised about these weekend Metro closures?; Bluegrass is always a good idea, and the 9:30 Club has you covered tonight with the Infamous Stringdusters; Or you can broaden your horizons at the Black Cat tonight with a very special local songwriters showcase; If you’re still standing after all of that, Flash presents a stacked lineup of DJ’s tonight; For a more classical weekend, the Kennedy Center’s calendar is full of amazing events; What would a weekend in DC be without emboldened action? The annual March for Life takes place today; DC Winter Restaurant Week kicks off on Sunday so make your reservations, like, yesterday

We love cake so much that we want to share it with you in the Round Up, on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and every other media platform that takes over the world in 2017. Follow us for the best slice of DC.

Well this interview didn’t exactly go as planned; For the belle of the ball on a budget, look no further; In no way does this make us feel better, Metro; In contrast, we feel extremely good about this adorable baby seal at the National Zoo; OMG we def couldn’t “resist” that view either; This cake controversy ends with a charitable donation; Finally, a simple, feel-good headline; Don’t let go of those fitness resolutions just yet! Here’s a list of free (or super-cheap) ways to keep at it in DC; We can’t say “DC Winter Restaurant Week” fast enough! Here’s a guide for the hangriest of Washingtonians.

#NATIONAL

This war on cute zoo animals is the greatest thing to happen on the internet since basically ever; Move over, Alexa, there can only be one REAL ALEXA in this house; This ad is either an insult to pregnant couples or the Dutch; Here’s something that’ll bring both parties together to LOL across the aisle; Deadspin is really Cruzin for a bruisin‘; When you can say you learned to crawl in the White House, you’re pretty much set for life; We found where comedians go for coffee.

From Bubba:  We’ve seen our first full week since the launch of Axios, where we learned from Mike Allen’s new series ‘Trump 101’ that Trump reads stories about himself like I read FamousDC when Taz puts me in. And speaking of the president, no ‘post-inauguration week’ internet is complete without a viral ‘note on receipt’ story – I dare you to find a story with more shares than one that starts with conflicting political views and ends with a $450 tip and an uplifting note written on a receipt.

#SOCIALSEEN

We’ve already predicted the winner of the Super Bowl using a bowl of salsa

Can you identify this Metro stop?

These three photos pretty much sum up last week

We’re on the scene… the #SocialSeen that is. Join in on the fun!

We salute you, Howard Mortman (and C-SPAN)

Here are several reasons why you should never, EVER move to DC

Capture the city through your lens and share your view with the world!
