High winds blew across Northern Virginia and the Washington metro area on April 9, as a cold front moved in.

Video taken in Oakton, Virginia, which is about 15 miles from Washington, shows the gusty winds blowing petals from cherry trees.

The uploader, a self-described storm chaser, said the falling petals looked like “pink snow.”

According to reports, winds gusted at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour on Thursday. The area was under a severe thunderstorm watch and wind advisory. Credit: Kevin Ambrose via Storyful
