DC Area Braces for Heavy Snow, Sleet and Freezing Rain This Weekend
A major winter storm is forecast to hit the Washington, D.C. area this weekend, bringing 5–10 inches of snow with heavier totals (up to 14 inches) in northern parts, plus sleet and freezing rain that could ice roads and power lines; teens-long temperatures will keep the snow from melting quickly, and power outages and travel disruption are likely as the storm unfolds Saturday night through Sunday, with colder conditions continuing early next week.
