March for Life
Warning!
DC Metro system will be completely shutdown from 11pm Fri thru all day Sunday.
Federal government shutting down by noon today. The Fed buildings around the Mall will NOT be available for even temporary shelter. With predicted high winds and wind chill factors frostbite will be a real danger.
Ancillary services such as stores and restaurants more than likely be shutdown as well in downtown DC.
With a poor history of road clearing DC transportation will be impossible. You will be stranded with little chance for relief via emergency services.
Not a wise move by march organizers to continue.
No Metro services in DC, rail and bus shutdown Fri 11pm through Sunday (late)
So we went to March for Life in DC. The march went off without a hitch. It started snowing just as we got done.
No issues and no danger. It’s now 6:30 pm. We got home around 5. Less than an inch of snow.
I feel bad for folks who get so paralyzed by the weather.
No doubt the blizzard will worsen by tomorrow but today, as predicted was just fine.
