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…)

“Dear PoPville,

I was wondering if readers might have places they’d recommend for clothing repair? In particular I’m looking for some place where I can have socks darned. I’m trying to waste less and figure this is one way to do it while also hopefully supporting a local business.”

“Dear PoPville,

A shout out to Dua Coffee on McPherson Square! This place has been giving me good vibes throughout this stupid pandemic. The staff is incredibly nice, the coffee is excellent, and it just feels like a nice escape from The Year That Shall Live in Infamy.

I’m sure they’d appreciate any extra business. (P.S. they sell bags of whole beans!)”

From La Jambe:

“We have made the very difficult decision to put on pause our Shaw location and do like lots of other restaurants, hibernating for a few months.

We have made it this far thanks to your continuous support but unfortunately between the higher risk of infection, the colder weather, and new restrictions in place, it is becoming almost impossible for us to stay open at this point.

We will keep our Shaw location open until Sunday, December 20th, so you can stop by, say goodbye and support our lovely team. (more…)
