After nearly 20 inches of snow fell on D.C. this weekend—though the official total is disputed—residents and city workers have begun to shovel sidewalks, dig out cars, and clear streets. Both the District and federal governments are closed today, while Metro is running extremely limited rail and bus service for only certain portions of the day.
