From WMATA:
“Metro is announcing the following service information for Thursday, January 28, 2016:
Metrobus
As snow clearing progresses and road conditions improve across the region, Metrobus service will be upgraded to a “light” snow service plan starting Thursday morning. Under the “light” snow plan, all routes are in service; however, pre-planned snow detours are in effect to keep buses off of hilly terrain, narrow streets and other problem areas. Bus customers should check the light service plan webpage for detour information: http://www.wmata.com/snow/light
As conditions improve, snow detours may be lifted and buses will resume normal routing. Metro will alert riders on a route-by-route basis through MetroAlerts by email or text message and on the Metrobus alerts and advisories page. Sign up for MetroAlerts at http://www.wmata.com/metroalerts .
Metrorail
On Thursday, Metrorail will continue to operate modified service, with trains running every 8 minutes during rush hours on each line. All stations are open. In the downtown core of the system where stations are served by multiple lines, trains will serve stations about every 4 minutes.
Rail customers are advised that, due to reduced car availability following the blizzard, trains may be more crowded than usual. Ridership is lighter during the “shoulders” of the rush hour: before 7:30 a.m. and after 9:00 a.m. in the morning, and before 4:00 p.m. or after 6:30 p.m. in the evening.
Additionally, Rush Plus Yellow Line service (Yellow Line trains between Franconia-Springfield and Greenbelt) will not operate Thursday. Blue Line trains will continue to run 8-minute rush hour service to compensate.
MetroAccess
MetroAccess paratransit service for customers with disabilities will operate on its normal schedule. In some cases, “door-to-door” service may be unavailable where driveways or sidewalks have not been cleared of snow. In such cases, the driver will provide “curb-to-curb service” instead.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
