Breaking news - due to the impending blizzard, Metro's GM has announced at a 4PM press conference that there will be NO Metrorail service this weekend, Jan. 23-24. Service will end Friday at 11 PM. From what I gather by the questions posed to him, Metro has not done this in recent memory. In prior snow storms, Metro continued to run service underground - Metro has a snow map for such instances. http://wmata.com/getting_around/safety_ ... nowMap.pdf. What he said was that Metro was going to use the underground tunnels to store as much of the fleet as possible to protect them from the snow and to increase Metro's ability to come back online after the storm for service on Monday.
