Storm Jonas is set to arrive Friday afternoon and what started as a weekend packed with events has now turned into a weekend with very little to do besides hibernate with your last-minute grocery haul. Although the majority of events in the DMV have been canceled, one sole survivor stands! If you’re in the Navy Yard neighborhood, be sure to grab your winter coat and a ticket for Ice Yards. But be sure to check the events page before you do. Also check our list of canceled events to see if your plans for this weekend have been rescheduled for another date and time.

If you haven’t heard already, Metro will be shutdown for the entire weekend starting at 11 p.m. on Friday. Bus service will operate under a “severe” snow weather plan meaning buses will only operate on major corridors until 5 p.m. Be sure to check with WMATA on routes. And please, stay safe!
