Good morning, Washington. Another typical winter day ahead—i.e., mid-60s or higher and plenty of sunshine. What is this? Unseasonably warmist?

Huguely Found Guilty: A jury in Charlottesville, Va. found former University of Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely V guilty of second-degree murder in the death of his onetime girlfriend Yeardley Love. The jury said Huguely, 24, did not intended to kill Love, who was also an accomplished U. Va. lacrosse player, on May 2, 2010 when he kicked in her door and fought violently with her. Love, 22, was found dead a few hours later. The Post notes prosecutors had been pushing for a first-degree conviction while Huguely’s attorneys were going for lesser manslaughter charges. The verdict splits the difference.

Mike Check: The City Paper’s Chris Shott takes a long look at Mike Isabella and his growing “empire.” Isabella, the Top Chef star-turned-Graffiato restauranteur, is about to open his second restaurant, the Mexican spot Bandolero, and there’s already talk of a third place with a Greek motif, though he’s playing that one down. And there’s a cookbook on the way with plans to write more. But why is Isabella so hot right now? His brash-but-endearing personality, Shott argues. “You probably hated the guy the first time you saw him on Top Chef. By the end of Top Chef All-Stars, he was the one you sort of hated to love.”

Bad Rides: Metro is not doing enough to combat sexual harassment incidents on its transit lines, a women’s group told a D.C. Council panel yesterday. One woman who testified told the hearing led by Councilmember Muriel Bowser (D-Ward 4) that when she complained of being groped on the platform at the Farragut North Metrorail station, Metro employees laughed her off, WAMU reports. And in some cases, the alleged harassers have been Metro workers themselves.

Briefly Noted: Two men shot last night in Southeast D.C. seriously wounded … O’Malley renewing push for increased use of wind energy … Former MPD detective becomes detective novelist … National Cathedral repairs to cost $20 million … Robberies on the rise in Fairfax County … Bikeshare wants five docks on the National Mall … Look at that fucking hipster apartment building.

This Day in DCist: Last year, Mayor Vince Gray had a carnival of a press conference, and the knives came out at TBD. In 2010, the District’s snow melter took the day off for Snowpocalypse, and Erik Wemple left City Paper for a new Allbritton venture whose name was still to be determined.
