From the Mayor’s Office:

“The District Snow Team will initiate a partial deployment beginning Saturday morning, ahead of a possible wintery mix anticipated to begin Saturday afternoon. Crews will be prepared to treat the roads with salt. Operations will begin at 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning and run through 10:00 p.m. as the weather shifts from rain to snow. Snowplows will be on standby and deployed if snow accumulates two or more inches.

The National Weather Service prediction calls for anywhere from one to four inches of snow on Saturday, (more…)
