(WASHINGTON, DC) La alcaldesa Muriel Bowser ha ordenado el completo despliegue del equipo de nieve de DC, comenzando a las 11pm del domingo 14 de febrero, debido a la posibilidad de acumulación de 1 a 3 pulgadas de nieve que caerán en la madrugada del lunes, seguido de una mezcla invernal de aguanieve y lluvia lo cual podría causar condiciones resbaladizas en las autopistas. Más de 200 camiones barredores serán desplegados.
