Remember, remember the fifth of December — at least for being a snow-laden day on record. The Capital Weather Gang noted earlier this week that Washingtonians have seen a snow storm in five of the past eight years. Unfortunately that record will probably fall to 5-9 tonight, as flurries are the best we can hope for in terms of precipitation. Hopefully the Redskins and their similar record can fare better today.

Fire & EMS, the fire started at approximately 8 p.m. in the kitchen duct of the restaurant, which specializes in West Indian and Jamaican dishes. Though no one was injured in the fire, officials estimate $100,000 in damages.
