You should not go out in this storm. I repeat—stay at home. It is literally a state of emergency. But you’re not listening, because maybe you finally found a blizzard bae or you’re hankering to make some friends at a bar. Good for you.

If you’re looking to brave the storm, you’ve got limited options.

Not Happening

Metro buses shut down at 5 p.m. and rails shut down at 11 p.m., and the system will stay closed through Saturday and Sunday.

Car2Go is also suspending service “until further notice.”

Capital Bikeshare will close down its stations 7 p.m. tonight and remain closed through Saturday.

D.C. Circulator is not running, and neither is the Streetcar. (Seriously, D.C. Department of Transportation let everyone know that the streetcar won’t be running during the blizzard.)

Happening, At A Cost

D.C. cabs began charging their snow emergency fare this morning, which is a flat fee of $15 in addition to the price of your ride.

Uber will be up-and-running, and has capped its surge pricing in the D.C.-area because of the state of emergency. There will still be surge pricing, but Uber says that there’s a limit to it (though hasn’t made clear what, exactly, that limit is).

Straight Up Happening

Lyft will be running and will not have surge pricing, according to a Lyft spokesperson who told DCist that the company turns off dynamic pricing when a state of emergency is declared.

Sledding is always an option, though you’ll need to want to go from a place of high elevation to a place of lower elevation.

And if you’ve got a car, make sure it’s not parked on the snow emergency route.
