We did it, D.C.! after two long, snowless years, we got a snow day. Though it kind of hits different when so many of us mostly work from home anyway.

There’s about four inches of snow on the ground across the D.C. region, after a Monday of flurries and slow-but-steady accumulation. (It’s no January 2022, but we’ll take it. Speaking of which, does anyone have eyes on Tim Kaine?)

The D.C. region was under a winter weather warning from the National Weather Service until 10 a.m. this morning, and the NWS says the region is likely to get “areas of freezing drizzle” until noon.

“Precipitation may change briefly back to snow before it ends with little or no additional snow accumulation expected,” per the agency.

Things will get markedly colder this evening, with winds gusting to 30 mph and the temperature dropping into the teens overnight, per the NWS. That means: slick, icy roads today and tomorrow.

The federal government and local schools are closed (so are the Smithsonian museums; D.C. public libraries are open and asking for your snow pictures). Our official advice is to stay as warm and cozy as you can. But if you have to get out there, here are a few things to keep in mind.

If you’re going out by car, be especially careful on bridges and overpasses, which get icy more quickly than surface roads. Road crews are still working to treat the roads.

The Virginia Department of Transportation wants you to shovel off your car so badly they made a punny joke about it. (Not be outdone, so did their counterparts in Maryland.)

Metrobus is operating limited service, according to the service’s “severe snow service plan.” As of Tuesday morning, Metrobus was beginning to add back more routes. Check if your route is running before you head to the bus stop. Metrorail, after a weekend of closures, is back to normal.

BWI, Dulles, and  National are all open, and runways are clear, but the storm has delayed or canceled some flights. National has it the worst with 207 cancellations and 153 delayed flights, according to Flight Aware. There are about 100 cancellations and delays at BWI and just 46 canceled flights at Dulles.
