Snow Emergency Declared

Yes, folks, we’ve got another weekend snow storm planned, and the Washington Post is saying that this one is “likely to be historic.”  If things keep up DC may finally get enough practice to get good at dealing with snow!  Okay, maybe not but I think it’s safe to say that the rest of us are starting to figure out the drill.  Step 1: Panic. Step 2: swarm the nearest grocery store. Step 3: build a snowman and remember that the snow is fun. Step 4: post awesome pictures to the THIH Flickr Pool.

And in anticipation of a storm that could bring even more snow than the snOMG! storm in December, DDOT has declared a snow emergency as they prepare to deal with “Super Snow Bowl.” (I think they missed the memo on what we’re calling this one, cause that’s just lame.).  Anyway, the point is, move your car by 9:30 am on Friday if you are parked on a snow emergency route or face a $250 fine and additional fees for towing and storage at an impound lot.

If you are not sure what streets are snow emergency routes, this PDF map highlights them all.  DC also has a snow and ice control web site with some helpful information.  And if you didn’t move your car and think it was towed, call 202-541-6083.
