We’ve added two new sections to our morning email newsletter.
Starting today, you’ll notice the weather forecast at the top of the morning email. We make it easy to see what Mother Nature has in store for you for the next seven days. Our weather forecast is sponsored by OmniRide.

It is one of my favorite days of the year — Christmas Eve — a time full of wonder, magic, and memories.
For so many, so much is possible on this day. Reuniting with family and friends, making new ones, serving your neighbors, and giving to the less fortunate are just some of the things that spring to mind on this day.

We’re about to say goodbye to 2018 and hello to a brand new year.
And as we do this time every year, we’re getting ready to take a look back at the biggest stories of the year based on the number of views each story received on our website.

I believe email newsletters are the future of our local media business.
At Potomac Local, we’ve had a morning email newsletter since 2011. Two years ago, we renamed it “Breakfast Links” and its popularity skyrocketed.

I want to thank Experimac Manassas for sponsoring this series of posts and allowing a guy to reflect on using his first Macintosh computer as a child, and to write about using my new-to-me Mac, my first in more than 20 years. See them for all your Mac, iPhone and computer needs.
I remember it like it was yesterday.

First of all, thank you to all of you who subscribed to Potomac Local and trusting me to continue to provide local news for the community where I grew up.
Your subscription shows that you value our service. From our exclusive reporting on traffic and transit, our coverage of local government, or insight into the local business community, it tells me that you want essential local news that makes an impact — not just stories you can get on any other news website.

You may have missed our Facebook posts over the weekend.
Our social media posting service had a hiccup.
