The snow has mostly stopped after another 10 inches or so, but the winds and drifting have kicked up.

All of D.C. is hitting the Office of Personnel Management website to find out what the plan is for tomorrow. (For those readers outside the region, many of our offices follow the Federal government when it comes to deciding if the weather is too treacherous to make us come in.) Metro says below-ground trains only; no update yet on when bus travel may resume.

A quarter of D.C.’s snow plows are now out of commission, so the roads, especially those that aren’t emergency routes, are a mess with deep ruts. I’m impressed that the drivers aren’t also out of commission, given they’ve been running around the clock since Thursday night when they began pre-treating the roads.

Ah, there we go. The Feds are closed. I assume it will be only a matter of time before my office sends out its announcement, too. (And, yes, I could go in, as I live and work a) within the underground portion of the subway system and b) within a reasonably short, walkable distance. But I’m not going to if I don’t have to. So there!)

ETA (7:20): And there’s the office, too… Another day of heavy (tea) drinking again tomorrow…
