From the Mayor’s office:

“Mayor Muriel Bowser has directed the DC Snow Team to go into a full deployment Monday, February 8. The District will deploy more than 200 plows by noon, based on predictions of a system that begins with rain during the day but may change to snow possibly in time for the evening rush hour. Accumulations are not known at this time but there could be 1-3 inches overnight Monday night into Tuesday, and the morning rush hour also could be affected. The low temperature Monday night is predicted to be 32F. Tuesday’s forecast is for a 50% chance for rain and snow with a high of 40F. (more…)

“Volunteers clearing snow from park @ 15/16 and Irving

It is the property of National Park services. But we called and they said “they were not going to be able to come anytime soon…” so we did it.

It is the path that most people in Mount Pleasant use to get to the Metro, so it seem like a good way to use lunch time.”

“Some nice garbage men helped dig this guy out of his parking spot on the still un-plowed Quarry Rd, NW, in Lanier Heights!”

“Meridian Hill is a disappointing mess of plastic bin shards, cardboard boxes, and styrofoam. I picked up what I could over lunch but the park could use more volunteers. The plastic bin shards are sharp and there were a lot of kids sledding today….”

A reader reports Monday just after 4pm:

“a few neighbors saw it and less than 10 minutes later, a firetruck and two SUVs showed up. Thankfully, we think the house isn’t occupied right now. This house is on Sheridan right before 7th.”
