On Friday, Mayor Muriel Bowser and DC Snow Team leaders will kick off the 2016-2017 snow season at the Dry Run press conference. The Snow Dry Run is a training exercise for the 800+ members of the DC Snow Team (DPW, DDOT and other agencies) to prepare for snow fighting duties, proper handling of materials, proper maintenance of equipment, and proper operation of the equipment. About 700 plow drivers will drive their routes, leaving from their assigned staging yards, while administrative, supervisory, logistics and IT employees will practice their functions at their sites, including the salt domes. Mayor Bowser will acknowledge the role Serve DC is playing to attract volunteers to shovel sidewalks for the District’s elderly and disabled residents.
