AFSCME members are heartbroken and outraged by the senseless killing of fellow union member Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Alex was a true public servant who took care of our nation’s veterans in the VA intensive care unit. The thoughts and prayers of AFSCME members nationwide are with Alex’s family during this time. https://www.afscme.org/press/releases/2025/afscmes-saunders-we-will-not-be-silent-as-this-administration-uses-violence-and-intimidation-to-enact-its-extremist-agenda

🚨 Big, important forecast update: more ice, higher outage risk

We’ve released a new map and revised the storm timeline. Here’s what’s changed — and what matters most:

• Totals similar, but more sleet than before. Less pure snow, more sleet mixing in. Some spots could stack 1–3 inches of sleet on top of snow.

• Nearly everyone flips to sleet. Even near the PA line. The change from snow → sleet may happen quickly Sunday morning into early afternoon.

• Freezing rain risk is rising. Especially south of the Beltway, where icing on trees and power lines raises power-outage concerns.
We’re most worried from Fredericksburg to Southern Maryland.

• Snow may start later Saturday night. Beltway likely after 10 p.m.; dinner plans probably OK if you’re home before late evening.

• Not a blockbuster snow, but a severe storm. Faster changeover limits snow totals, but this will be high-impact because of cold temps before, during, and after. Expect a cement-like mix of snow + ice that won’t melt for days.

• Clear early and often. Shovel and salt as it falls. If you wait until the end, this hardens fast and becomes much harder to remove.

Posted 1255p Friday.

Comrades,
Earlier this evening the Senate failed to move forward on competing continuing resolutions to fund the government. Appropriations will lapse at 12:01 tonight. Be sure to call the hotline tomorrow. We will get through this together.
