From the Mayor’s Office:
“Mayor Muriel Bowser announced she will deploy the District Snow Team this evening ahead of the season’s first potential snow storm.
Starting this evening, December 15, at 7:00 p.m., tanker trucks will begin pre-treating the National Highway System with a brine/beet juice mixture, which reduces the ability of ice to bond to the pavement. These roadways include I-295, I-395 and major streets such as Georgia Avenue, NW; Pennsylvania Avenue, SE and NW; South Dakota Avenue, NE; Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Alabama Avenue, SE; and M Street, SW.
This evening, December 15, at 10:00 p.m., the Snow Team will deploy 138 heavy plows (6- and 10-wheel dump trucks) and 81 light plows (F-550 pickup trucks) to apply salt to highways, streets, bridges, ramps, and other elevated structures before snow begins falling Wednesday morning.
Based on the National Weather Service forecast, the District is expected to be on the rain/snow line, and precipitation could alternate between rain and snow, with a possible accumulation of 1-3 inches of snow. (more…)
From the National Weather Service:
“Make use of today’s quiet weather to prepare for Wednesday’s winter storm. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect where we are most confident of heavier snow. A Watch remains in effect where heavy snow is possible but not yet certain.”
STAY TUNED. And remember: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
My building cut off our AC last week and with today’s high at 82, my apartment has been unbearably hot. Last night the thermostat read 78 at 10pm. Do DC renters have any options to file a legal complaint?
An updated reading from this morning. (80 degrees)”
