Mayor Bowser Deploys District Snow Team in Preparation for Tuesday’s Forecasted Snowfall
Washington, DC — Mayor Muriel Bowser today announced that the District Snow Team will be fully activated and prepared to respond to forecasted snowfall beginning on Tuesday, February 11.*
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Washington, DC area, with snowfall expected to begin Tuesday afternoon and continue into Wednesday morning. The NWS predicts that the District could receive 4 to 8 inches of snow, with higher amounts possible in some areas.
“Our District Snow Team is ready to respond to the forecasted snowfall and ensure the safety of our residents and visitors,” said Mayor Bowser. “We encourage everyone to stay informed about the latest weather conditions and to take precautions to stay safe.”
The District Snow Team is comprised of more than 1,600 personnel and 600 pieces of equipment, including snow plows, salt spreaders, and snow removal equipment. The team will be working around the clock to clear snow from roads, sidewalks, and public spaces.
The District Department of Public Works (DPW) is responsible for snow removal on public roadways, while the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is responsible for snow removal on sidewalks and public spaces.
Residents are encouraged to take the following precautions:
- Stay informed about the weather forecast. Monitor local news and weather reports for the latest updates on the storm.
- Avoid unnecessary travel. If possible, stay home and off the roads during the storm.
- If you must travel, allow extra time. Snow and ice can make roads slippery and hazardous.
- Clear snow and ice from your sidewalks and driveways. This will help to prevent falls and injuries.
- Check on your neighbors. Make sure your neighbors, especially the elderly and disabled, are safe and have what they need.
