Huge crowds at the Smithsonian Metro station at this hour. Normally 8:45 would only be about a half hour before the fireworks, but with the change this year, we are still likely almost 2 hours away from the start. #wmata

Traffic headed to Reagan National Airport is backed up a half mile onto Rt. 1 - if you are traveling by car, I would plan on at least an extra hour, maybe more, just to get to the terminals. Taking Metro - even if you drop folks off 1 stop away from DCA - is a way to avoid this

July 4 is not an ideal day for this. One of the cars on this Metro train derailed near the College Park station, and trains are single tracking between CP & Hyattsville Crossing. Plan extra time if you're headed from this area of Prince George's to DC for the fireworks. #wmata

DMV officials are warning drivers to be extra careful as roads are still not back to normal, and many merge areas like the one at this exit from DCA onto Route 1 are still mostly covered in snow. If you go out into traffic too fast you could hit someone.

Traffic from Reagan National Airport is backed way up onto Rt. 1 as we are in one of the busiest periods of the busiest air travel day for Thanksgiving. I took my own reporter advice & dropped someone off at Crystal City Metro- riding one stop was his only way to make his flight.
