That's the official word from OPM as of 7 p.m. tonight. Still waiting on word from WMATA. more ›

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2010: All DC Public Schools will be closed. All administrative offices will open on time.

Our thoughts are with the family, friends, staff and colleagues of Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), who passed away today at Virginia Hospital Center after suffering complications from gallbladder surgery. He was 77. more ›

Right now, your average Capitals fans is as happy as a lobbyist with a wad of cash to spend. Their team is riding the best winning streak in franchise history. Alex Ovechkin is crashing every NHL goalie's party and leading the league in goals, points, and plus-minus, with his teammates cracking the top five in two of those categories. more ›

Apart from obsessing about snow, we've lost a good chunk of time today playing with David Alpert's neato slideshow depicting the evolution of the Metrorail system over time. Mr. Greater Greater Washington was clearly keeping busy during the Snowmaggedon, and if you're even remotely geeky about transit, you should check it out. more ›

Dear readers, I know you want us to quit telling you how it's never gonna stop snowing, but we can't control the National Weather Service (or the weather). The latest Winter Storm Watch is calling for a potential of more than 8 inches of snow, with "a good likelihood" of more than 10 inches. The timing is still roughly the same: it'll start sometime Tuesday afternoon and continue through Wednesday afternoon. more ›

Wow! Our contributing photographers are amazing. They have been out all weekend taking photos of the snomgasm, and our flickr pool is full of great shots. They are more reliable in poor weather than the Post Office! Take this photo from Nivad for example, he has risked life, limb, and camera to get a great shot of the Dupont Circle snowball fight. Great work photogs, now if I could only get you all to come shovel my street... more ›

Our intrepid Editor-in-Chief, Sommer Mathis, is making her way from DCist HQ up to Tenleytown right now to sit down with Kojo Nnamdi at noon today. They'll discuss the "digging out" efforts going on around town to recover from the weekend's snow dump and how to prepare for the additional five inches we'll be getting Tuesday. She'll be joined by DDOT Director Gabe Klein, Pepco President Thomas Graham, and Isiah Leggett from Montgomery County. Tune into 88.5 FM or listen online. more ›

It's an awkward truism of urban politics that a snowstorm can be the undoing of an elected official. Take too long to get the snowed cleared off the roads -- like Marion Barry in 1987 when the city struggled for a week after a snowstorm, which he missed because he was in California at the Super Bowl -- and you're an out-of-touch executive leading an inefficient government. Respond quickly -- like Mayor Adrian Fenty was credited for doing after the December 2010 2009 storm -- and people will applaud. more ›

For those of you who managed to get into work today, we're curious, what was your mode of transportation? And if it differed significantly from your usual method, feel free to note the relevant switch in the comments. more ›
