WMATA is announcing that they will be suspending aboveground Metrorail service and all Metrobus and MetroAccess service starting at 1 pm. Metrorail trains will run on the “snow map” routes, while some non-passenger trains will run along the aboveground routes to try to prevent snow buildup. Meanwhile, I’m off to shovel my front and back steps.
