Baby, it’s cold out there. And . . . every.seven . . . has the proof: The Potomac river is starting to ice up, even up at Great Falls. I’ll admit, I’m a fan of the ice and cold, and the bleak reflections of the trees, hibernating, waiting for the thaw, just add to the feeling of a long cold winter.

Have you submitted your best photos to our annual DCist Exposed Photography Show? If not, you better cancel happy hour plans and get on it: the Flickr pool and entry into the competition will close exactly at midnight, tonight!
