A real snow day! 🤞🙏❄🌨☃️
Honestly unsure why D.C. schools haven’t closed yet. It’s D.C. I’m from Boston. I see how D.C. handles snow. The storm isn’t sneaky. We all know the schools are going to close.

@CMRobertWhiteDC @councilofdc Lifelong DC resident, Nathan Hunter El, sharing his experience that led to needing ERAP - management not making repairs, not handing in ERAP paperwork, not doing recertifications. ERAP needs to fit both parties and not penalize residents.
