Tonight's temperatures will drop only into the mid-30s; however, the forecast calls for wind, which makes the temperature much colder if you're outside. Here is our perennial post on what to do if you see someone out in the cold: thehillishome.com/2016/01/what-t… A kind reminder: NO ONE wants to be homeless. No one wants to be outdoors on an inclement night like tonight. Shelters can sometimes be crowded and unsafe for our unhoused neighbors, which is why many choose to live outdoors.

The fact that @charlesallen has seen first-hand how unprepared DCPS facilities are for the start of school ON MONDAY but there is still no virtual option, no matter how much CMs try to advocate for it, makes you wonder where our priorities as a city are. And it’s great that teachers are working so hard but that’s what teachers do! Construction should really not be happening so close to the start of school. @jessicasutterW6 mentions that there are tickets that have gone unhandled by @DCDGS
