Snow Alerts
CURRENT      Total: 59

Timely snow removal is one of the primary yardsticks by which residents measure the effectiveness of city service delivery. The District is committed to faster completion of plowing and salting along major roads and residential streets which, in turn, means more rapid return of normal traffic flow and earlier resumption of delayed or suspended services.

Clearing snow and ice from 1,100 miles of city streets is not a predictable or instantaneous undertaking. In the event that a significant snowstorm does hit the District, city leaders advise common sense. Use public transportation, clear the sidewalks adjacent to your property and most of all—be patient and allow sufficient time for snow operations to be implemented.

For more information, see the District Snow Brochure*, the District of Columbia Winter Snow Plan, and the listing* and map* of the District's Snow Emergency Routes.
