In a sign of what may be to come, Metro is planning to operate on a moderate snow service plan to start the day on Saturday.
It does not take much ice buildup on roadways to create very dangerous conditions. On Thursday morning, an icy highway in Fort Worth, Texas caused a massive pileup that killed six people and involved more than 100 vehicles.
Dangerous icing possible in the DC area Saturday, w/ threat highest along and east of I95. In parts of the region, could be worst ice event in more than a decade. Do not mess with ice…best to stay in if/when icy precip is falling. Detailed briefing: https://t.co/NLfzmgIUWy
