Reasons to watch the Oscars:
And it's about whether Philip Seymour Hoffman, if he wins for best actor, will keep a promise he made long ago.

No snow in DC. Some rain earlier.
Calling for a high of 57.
The snow just started coming down here. I was looking at my LJ entries from last year, and we got a ton of snow last March.
Nothing here, and I'm just a few miles south of Tom.
