“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.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
