Due to 6 to 9 inches of snow and an additional 1-2 inches expected, Mayor Muriel Bowser has announced the closure of DC Public Schools on Tuesday. Residents are advised to stay updated on further developments, according to the Office of the Mayor.
Due to ongoing snow and weather issues, the DC Government will open at 10:00 a.m. today. Residents should avoid crowding plows and follow snow emergency parking rules. Trash, recycling, and food waste collection is delayed by one day, and the Fort Totten Transfer Station is closed. Leaf collection is paused.

During winter storms in the DC area, vulnerable groups like the homeless and elderly need extra help. Warming buses and shelters are available, and the Shelter Hotline operates 24/7. Animal welfare issues can be reported to the Humane Rescue Alliance or Brandywine SPCA. Residents must clear sidewalks after snow, and ServeDC is looking for volunteers to help seniors and disabled neighbors. Businesses must keep sidewalks and outdoor areas accessible, as stated by the Office of the Mayor.
