Blogging in the Blizzard

Greetings and welcome to the City of Takoma Park's new blog.

To the extent that we have access to power and internet, we're going to use this blog to help keep you updated on City news, with our first focus on the only possible topic right now: BLIZZARD!

The City's Public Works crews have been working around the clock to clear City streets. Crew members are staying locally so that shift changes occur smoothly with minimum disruption.

As of this time, the National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning until 7 PM.

According to PEPCO:  We have confirmed that the National Weather Service has issued a BLIZZARD WARNING for the Pepco Service area until 7PM. Part of this warning is that there should be no travel at this time in the warning area. MD-SHA and County Plows are being pulled from the street at this time until conditions subside. Pepco is holding all crews at Service Centers or Staging Areas or they are sheltering in place.


Pepco continues to encourage our customers to prepare for this forecasted winter storm. Customers with special needs should make arrangements to prepare for a possible service interruption.

As of this writing, the City plows were still working, but this might change for safety reasons.

We hope you are warm and safe!
