I'm not sure we're properly prepared for the coming collision of shutdown specials and snow day specials. Sunday be damned.

Frome the Washington DC Snowball Fight Association:
“Team #DCSFA is excited to kick off our season with a Washington Snowdown Fight at 1pm on the Western grounds of the Washington Monument! All furloughed, excepted, and other residents and visitors to DC are welcome to join!
The Washington Monument itself is fenced off but the grassy grounds on its western side are wide open. So let’s meet there at 1pm to enjoy the winter wonderland!
HOW TO GET THERE: The closest Metro is Smithsonian Station (Blue/Orange/Silver). Take the Mall/Jefferson Drive exit and head west along the National Mall toward the Monument. It’s about a 10 minute walk.”

“Dear PoPville,
For the life of me I can’t figure out what this guy is doing on a side street in SW. He’s going back and forth throwing salt down. He’s got almost an inch against the curb. It’s no accidental drop, he’s going back and forth throwing more and more salt down. I’ve never seen anything like this. Seems like he’s paid by how much salt he lays down.”

“With the National Weather Service (NWS) forecasting two to four inches [Ed. Note: Updated accumulation totals above.] of snow in the District this weekend, beginning sometime Saturday afternoon and continuing into Sunday, Mayor Bowser has deployed the DC Snow Team to begin pretreatment of roads. On Thursday, January 10, the Snow Team began treating National Highway System roads with liquid brine, and the Mayor has ordered the deployment of more than 200 trucks to pretreat all District roads on Saturday, January 12. The DC Snow Team will continue its deployment through Sunday evening, treating and plowing roads as necessary. Residents and motorists can register to receive important weather alerts from the District on their devices by signing up for AlertDC at alertdc.dc.gov.
Despite the continuation of the partial government shutdown, the National Park Service will be bringing in personnel to cover the network of roads, sidewalks and pathways under the responsibility of the federal agency, as is their normal snow plan. Read More
