CNN.com featured yesterday's snowball brouhaha on its home page, linking to ABC 7’s coverage of the incident. As if the negative coverage doesn’t threaten to be embarrassing enough for the District, the story -- headlined "Snowball Fight Takes a Turn for the Worse" -- paints a misguided picture of the day to say the least. According to WJLA and thus CNN, there was a “snowball fight-turned-unruly protest’ with “anti-war protesters dressed in anarchist garb” crashing the fight in their all black clothes, masks, and anti-war signs.” more ›

Mayor Randy McClement of Frederick, Maryland, has asked drivers to move their parked cars off streets in order for city crews to perform curb-to-curb plowing, according to ABC 7. But where are they supposed to go in the meantime? There is free parking at the city garages until 6 a.m. Monday, but then drivers need to get to the city garages to retrieve their vehicles -- which is to say nothing of how they are supposed to get home from the garages. Nevertheless, the sooner the streets are plowed -- and plowed curb to curb -- the easier it will go for drivers.

Early on, MPD officers tolerated the chaos. Around 150 snowballers lined up on the east and west sides of 14th Street NW just north of U Street, idling politely as passing cars sludged through the intersection before rushing out to meet one another on the icy field of combat. A few activist-types carried riot shields featuring the anarchy symbol and unfurled a giant banner reading "No War but Snow War." One snowballer carried an IKEA bag full of snowballs, as good a visual metaphor for a snowball fight at that intersection as you could hope to find. Good times. more ›

The snOMG event of '09 is soon to begin. We're already hearing from people with early morning flights booked that they have been canceled. In the District, all DMV, DPR and public library facilities will be closed on Saturday, and Mayor Fenty has set a formal Snow Emergency starting at 7 a.m. -- that means you must move your car from any designated snow emergency route before then, or it will be towed. You can download a map or a list of all snow emergency routes here. And if your car does get towed, you should call 202-541-6083 to find out where it is. more ›
