Georgetown and D.C. Take a Snow Day


In the most significant snowfall of the season for the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland, most people had Feb. 17 off as the federal government, District governments and public schools closed — along with other jurisdictions. In the morning, Metro bus service was suspended but was restored by midday. Also, by midday, most people were out and about around town. Most businesses were open, but some were closed because employees could not make it in to work. The snow — measuring anywhere from four inches to eight inches and beyond in the outer suburbs — has begun to melt a little, but the freezing temperatures will continue through the week. Remember to shovel the snow in front of your house or business — it’s the law and common courtesy.
