If you were riding the Blue, Orange, or Silver Line this morning, well, sorry. A cracked rail on the Orange and Silver Lines between East Falls Church and West Falls Church forced Metro to single track for a period on those three Metro lines, unsurprisingly causing some serious delays for commuters:

.@wmata @Metrorailinfo 2+hour commute and counting from Farragut West to Spring Hill. This is absolutely ridiculous. @unsuckdcmetro

The good news: Metro says those three lines are no longer single-tracking.
The bad news: Residual delays continue.
In other news: It’s hump day, so, like, hang in there and stuff. The week is half over.
