Weather image of the day: Fawning over snow
While there were no reports of accumulating snow inside the beltway last night, you only had to travel a little over 60 miles to get nearly half a foot. Capital Weather Gang reader Steve Gass, who photographed the image above, measured 5.5" on the slope of High Knob, in between Linden and Chester Gap in Warren County.

Weather image of the day: Greek crescent moon
The beautiful image above of a waning crescent moon over the Poseidon Temple is described by photographer Elias Chasiotis: "On the morning of January 1, 2011, I visited Sounion, Greece hoping to celebrate the start of the New Year with a glimpse of the waning, crescent moon rising over the ancient Poseidon Temple. Just before the start of morning twilight, the Moon's crooked grin appeared and seemed to strike a balance atop the approximately 2,500 year old temple."

Polar plunge into the Potomac river
The air temperature early Saturday afternoon was near 50°F and the water temperature was near 40°F. The sun began to break through the clouds at 2 p.m. and the conditions were perfect for the start of Tim's Rivershore Polar Plunge. It was the 9th Annual plunge benefiting for Special Olympics Virginia. This year, the 2011 Polar Plunge® Winter Festival raised $1 million, the most money ever raised in the event's 19 year history.
