"Expect a cement-like mix of snow + ice that won’t melt for days. Clear early and often. Shovel and salt as it falls. If you wait until the end, this hardens fast and becomes much harder to remove."

The story for this weekends storm more than the snow will be the aftermath. Going to be quite possibly the most extreme short term cold snap of the last decade. Whatever precip does fall won’t be going anywhere for quite a while. #dcwx #mdwx #vawx

NEW: This is shaping up to be one of D.C. longest cold spells in 150 years D.C. plunged to 13 degrees on Tuesday morning, while many locations in the region dipped into the single digits and below zero. The frigid morning was part of a punishing cold snap that ramped up

Low of 14 today in Columbia Heights, a fair bit higher than forecast but still quite cold. Many more days of this to come. Roads and sidewalks still in a bad state, if more snow does fall this weekend things will be ugly. #dcwx
