Impressive pictures from @nbcwashington showing the storms rolling over the DC region right now. You can barely see the Capitol dome!!

It WORKS! For the first time ever on the DC Metro system, you can tap a credit card at a faregate to enter a 🚇 station (SmarTrip cards aren’t going away - you can still reload & use them. This is just a new “tap ride go” option, similar to NYC subway) @nbcwashington

That DC sunrise hit different this morning!! ☀️🌅

OBAMA PHOTOBOMB! A local mom & dad took their kids on a cherry blossom photo shoot @ the Tidal Basin yesterday morning… and look who walked right by! @nbcwashington

A holiday miracle! Snow at Dulles Airport! @ChuckBell4 @nbcwashington

There are hundreds of station managers throughout the Metro system. Gotta give a shout out to Ms. Ruffin @ Metro Center, who helped @nbcwashington this morning as we went LIVE on TV from a train!

Cars vs. Metro — which arrives at DCA faster during the holiday travel rush? 4:42pm on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Gonna be a long week! ⁦@nbcwashington⁩

✈️🇮🇹 never a dull day in Washington! The Italian Air Force “Frecce Tricolori” (Tricolour Arrows) just flew over DC. 10 jets w/ a trail of red, white, & green smoke. They’ve been flying in air shows across the US these past few months. Final stop: Ocean City, MD.

Here’s a few more renderings of the new entrance. Crystal City currently has one entrance on S Bell St. This new project will add a second entrance on the corner of Crystal Dr & 18th St S — closer to VRE station & airport.
