Foot traffic down at DC bar during snow slump, says icy street entrance doesn’t help
WASHINGTON (7News) — By now, you’ve likely noticed the giant piles of ice and snow still sitting around across the District.
Mayor Muriel Bowser said her team, along with outside contractors, is working around the clock to clean it up, though some still say the road and sidewalk conditions should have improved days ago.
7News is speaking with local businesses that are now feeling the negative impacts of the snowstorm.
“I mean, no one wants to walk through a bunch of ice and run the risk of slipping and falling,” Robert Thorburg, one of the managers at Barrel House Cafe & Bar, said. “You can see I’m standing on literally about half a foot of ice, solid ice.”
Barrel House is in the popular Logan Circle neighborhood on 14th Street Northwest. It’s a cafe by day and a bar by night.
“The nights were not doing shows, we’re just a neighborhood bar. People can come in and grab a quick drink. We have a late-night happy hour here on the weekends,” Thornburg said.
But ever since last week’s storm, happy hour hasn’t been so happy.
“No one came out during Monday or Tuesday when everything was happening. It was a challenge for people to get to work. People started to venture out again on Wednesday, but we still had to close early because we just didn’t have any foot traffic,” he explained.

While it’s disappointing to lose business, he gets why people are staying in.
Mayor Bowser and city officials have said they’re doing their best to clean up the streets and get them back to normal.
7News spotted several trucks hauling snow out of the city Sunday evening.

“Everyone’s impacted by it. Everyone’s trying to survive and get to work, or get their trash picked up, basic essentials that they need to survive,” Thornburg said.
Still, he said it never should’ve gotten this bad.
Get some people out here and get the streets cleaned up. I know they’re beefing up contracting work right now and trying to get that done, but businesses here we support the local economy. So you know, let’s get it done.

Snow, strong winds and dangerous cold continue Sunday across parts of VA, MD and DC
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Snow, strong winds and dangerous cold are impacting parts of Virginia, Maryland and the District Sunday morning as a coastal storm continues to move offshore, leaving behind hazardous conditions across the region.
What we know:
According to the National Weather Service, the coastal storm that developed over the weekend is now pulling away, but not before bringing periods of snow and strong winds to parts of the region. Snowfall has been most significant across southern and southeastern Virginia, with lighter and more variable amounts farther north.
Forecasters say a sharp cutoff in snowfall has set up, meaning communities only a short distance apart are seeing very different impacts.
Where snow is ongoing or lingering
Snow is still falling or tapering off in parts of southern and eastern Virginia, which will gradually come to an end Sunday morning. Southern Maryland may also see lingering snow or blowing snow, depending on location.
Farther north — including Washington, D.C. and northern Maryland — snowfall has been more limited, though some slick spots remain from earlier precipitation and blowing snow.
Wind and cold remain a concern
Even as snow diminishes, strong winds continue across the region, especially near the coast, where gusts may still cause blowing and drifting snow. These winds are also contributing to dangerously low wind chills.
Forecasters warn that wind chills Sunday morning may drop below zero in some inland areas, with single-digit wind chills common elsewhere. Cold conditions will make it harder for snow and ice to melt and could prolong hazardous travel conditions.
Coastal and tidal impacts
Along the Chesapeake Bay and coastal areas, tidal flooding remains possible Sunday, particularly around high tide cycles. Officials warn that any flooding could freeze onto roads and surfaces due to the bitter cold, creating additional hazards.
What to expect through the rest of Sunday
Snow should continue to taper from south to north through the morning, but cold temperatures and gusty winds will persist. Travel conditions may remain hazardous even where snowfall has ended, especially on untreated roads and bridges.
Why you should care:
Even as the storm moves out, lingering wind and extreme cold pose ongoing risks, particularly for those traveling, working outdoors or living in coastal and low-lying areas.
Residents are urged to use caution, dress for the cold and monitor local conditions throughout the day.
What’s next:
Forecasters say the region will remain cold into the start of the workweek, though winds should gradually ease. Any remaining snow and ice could linger due to below-freezing temperatures.
