DC Area Schools Closed Due to Snowstorm

Water officials are asking residents to limit water use to essential needs to avoid boil water advisories. Another winter storm is possible this weekend.

Schools are closed through Thursday.

Metro is operating on a limited weekend schedule, and bus service is gradually increasing. Expect cancellations and limited service in Maryland and Virginia.
