From the Mayor’s Office:
“This evening, Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that DC Public Schools will be closed on Wednesday, February 12. DC Government will open at 10:00 a.m.
Washington, DC has received approximately 4 inches of snow, with some areas seeing slightly higher totals. An additional 1-2 inches is expected overnight before snow tapers off around daybreak. A lull in precipitation will last through midday before a second system moves in, bringing a wintry mix that will transition to rain in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise throughout the day, creating slushy road conditions. Moderate rainfall is expected Wednesday evening before clearing out by Thursday morning.
The District’s Snow Emergency and Cold Weather Emergency remains activated. While the snow emergency is in effect, through Wednesday, February 12, motorists may not park on snow emergency routes and vehicles parked on these routes may be towed. Find a map of the snow emergency routes at snow.dc.gov. Drivers are asked to move vehicles off the routes as soon as possible. Vehicles still parked along snow emergency routes will be relocated. To learn where a vehicle has been towed, call the Towed Vehicle Locator office at 202-541-6083, or go to dpw.dc.gov/page/booting-and-impoundment.
Department of Public Works (DPW) trash and recycling collection crews will be deploying on schedule, but some households may experience delays. Food collection will “slide” for the remainder of the week into Saturday, February 15. For example, households that normally receive food collection on Wednesday will be serviced on Thursday.”
