WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- What a difference a year makes as March 2013 will be remembered for being cooler than average in the Nation's Capital. 

That's in stark contrast to March 2012, which was 10 degrees warmer than normal. This March also saw more snowfall than in any month since early 2011 and this colder than normal weather also had other repercussions.

Many will recall that March 2012 was a balmy month in the Mid-Atlantic Region, with four days of temperatures in the 80s. Such unusual warmth, more characteristic of June, helped the cherry blossoms reach their peak bloom along the Tidal Basin by mid-month. 

In contrast, the warmest temperature this March was just 63 degrees at National Airport on the 10th. Consequently, the cherry blossoms did not reach their peak bloom until just this week.

(WUSA9) -- A school bus carrying approximately 10 students was involved in a traffic accident, Prince William County School officials said. 

The accident occurred at the intersection of Old Bridge Road and Occoquan Road. It is suspected that a vehicle may have run a red light, hitting the bus. The extent of damage is not known at this time. No students are reported to be injured, officials said.

More information will be posted as it becomes available. 

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- Only on 9, a rare glimpse at a highly trained and specialized team that goes undercover to dismantle drug trafficking organizations, bring human smugglers to justice,  serve high-risk arrest warrants, and even, secure the airspace over the Super Bowl in Blackhawk helicopters.

It's the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Response Team or S-R-T. By day, they're Special agents with Homeland Security Investigations.

"It is a constant effort to be ready, to be prepared and to have the right mindset," said John Torres, Special Agent in Charge of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations. 

But on a moment's notice, they suit up and serve high-risk arrest warrants, dismantle drug rings and bring sex traffickers and human smugglers to justice.

"It's kind of like going into the phone booth, putting on the cape and out they come and they're ready," said Torres.
