Sunny but chilly

It’s a rare feeling-like-winter kind of
day, even with increasingly strong
sunshine. Wind chills rise from the
teens early and into the 20s for
midday. Under mostly sunny skies,
highs reach within a few degrees of 40 in most
spots. Winds are out of the north at about 10 mph
early and then decrease with time. Dew points in
the single digits signal that the air is very dry.

prospects are slim to none. Te m-

peratures are expected to average

above normal, and the storm

system coming through early

next week is likely to be a rain-

maker.

However, toward the end of

February and early March, the

weather pattern is predicted to

become slightly cooler than nor-

mal. This might increase the

potential for some snowfall i n the

first half of March.

“It looks like the first half of

March could occasionally run

colder than normal, so there

could be some [snow] chances in

the first half,” said Matt Rogers,

Capital Weather Gang’s long-

range forecasting specialist.

“We’ve got maybe three more

weeks to sneak something in.”

Rogers said the weather pat-

tern by the second half of March

will probably turn more hostile to

snow chances.

Washington averages 1. 3

inches of snow in March, and

five of the past eight years have

had above-normal amounts that

month, so history does offer

some hope for snow enthusiasts.

The National Weather Service

notes that, since the late 1800s,

March has been the snowiest

month of the winter in Washing-

ton during 25 of those years.

No snow has fallen this month,

BY JASON SAMENOW

How bad is it for Washington-
area snow lovers this winter? It’s
now been an entire year since one
measly inch of snow fell. The
prospects for more snowfall this
winter aren’t great, although
March may offer the season’s best
chance for a bit of accumulation
before spring takes over for good.
It was last year on Feb. 20
when Reagan National Airport —
Washington’s official weather ob-
servation location — last record-
ed at least an inch of snow. The
2.6 inches that fell that morning
pushed the season’s s nowfall over
16 inches, slightly above the aver-
age of 15.4 inches. Since then, just
0.9 inches of snow has fallen: 0.3
inches in March and 0.6 inches
this entire winter to date.
This year’s paltry snowfall out-
put is about 12.5 inches below the
normal season-to-date figure and
ranks as the fifth least on record.
Numerous locations well
south of Washington have re-
ceived more snow, including
Huntsville, Ala.; El Paso; Nash-
ville; Greenville, S.C.; and Rich-
mond. Thanks to the storm pass-

With cooler weather on

some chance of flakes

BY RACHEL WEINER

A former counterterrorism an-
alyst with the Defense Intelli-
gence Agency admitted in a Vir-
ginia federal court Thursday that
he shared classified information
with two reporters.
Henry Kyle Frese, 31, of Alex-
andria, was in a romantic rela-
tionship with one journalist, ac-
cording to prosecutors, and
passed information on Chinese
and Russian weapons systems to
her and a colleague in 2018 and

2019. He also shared classified

information with a counterter-

rorism consultant.

Frese “was entrusted with To p

Secret information related to the

national defense of our country,”

G. Zachary Te rwilliger, U.S. attor-

ney for the Eastern District of

Virginia, said in a statement.

“Frese violated that trust, the

oath he swore to uphold, and

engaged in felonious conduct at

the expense of our country.”

Frese is set to be sentenced on

June 18. As part of his plea he has

agreed to provide “full, complete

and truthful cooperation.”

An attorney for Frese declined

to comment.

President Trump has repeated-

ly decried leaks and vowed to

crack down on unauthorized dis-

closures of sensitive information.

A former CIA software engineer

is currently on trial in New York,

accused of sharing the agency’s

secret hacking tools with the

website WikiLeaks.

Court records do not name the

journalists but describe articles

and tweets written by Amanda

Macias of CNBC and Courtney

Kube of MSNBC. Neither journal-

ist was prosecuted, and officials

said their communications were

not monitored as part of the

investigation.

The reporters and news agen-

cies have not publicly comment-

ed on the case.

Frese joined the DIA as an

intelligence contractor in Janu-

ary 2017 and was hired as a

counterterrorism analyst 1 3

months later. He u sed his security

clearance to gain access to re-

ports that were not relevant to his

work, and information from

those documents turned up in the

CNBC and MSNBC stories.

According to prosecutors,

Frese verbally shared the infor-

mation with the two reporters.

Authorities said only 26 individu-

als, including Frese, accessed all

five intelligence reports whose

contents were referenced in the

stories. Frese and Macias were

living together from January to

November 2018, according to the

court records, and followed each

other on Twitter.

At least twice on Twitter, Frese

promoted Macias’s articles con-

taining classified information,

according to court papers. In a

direct message on Twitter, he told

Macias he was willing to speak to

Kube if it helped her “progress.”

Authorities said he spoke on the

phone with both reporters re-

peatedly.

According to the statement of

facts in the case, Frese also con-

firmed for Macias classified infor-

mation provided to her by some-

one else. He a lso shared classified

information with a counterter-

rorism consultant who connect-

ed with him via social media.
