Good morning, Washington. How do you like your Inaugurapocalypse so far? Would you say, in addition to big crowds and long lines everywhere, like to add a little snow to the mix? We sure hope so! Don’t freak too bad, though. The forecast is only calling for a light dusting, most likely this afternoon but possibly starting earlier. It shouldn’t even be enough to merit snow plows, but will hopefully be just enough to give the city a few beautiful white accents for Super Inauguration Tuesday. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for picturesque, though we’ll happily settle for not-having-a-crippling-effect-on-the-city-while-the-whole-world-is-watching.

Thousands Expected to Answer Call to Service: Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and President-elect Obama has asked us all to serve our communities. Mayor Fenty is hosting one of the largest communal service opportunities today at RFK Stadium; you can sign up for a shift to help assemble care packages for the troops. We’ll be featuring some other local service opportunities later this morning, for those of you still nursing hangovers from last night’s inauguration parties.

Metro Did Pretty OK Yesterday: The Examiner takes stock of how the Metrorail system held up surrounding yesterday’s We Are One concert, and it looks like the biggest emergencies were a train door malfunction at the Columbia Heights station at 10 a.m. and another train’s brakes locking up around 1 p.m. The real obstacles were just getting so many passengers in and out of Metro stations, which makes a strong argument for not attempting to board Metro until well after Tuesday’s ceremonies end — either walk home, or go get a snack and hang back for a while before heading home.
