Same here - my corner of Conn Ave had a stuck bus, cars sliding everywhere, a taxi doing a 180. And now people are flying up the street as if it is dry. Amazing.

DCMike1, sounds like you are describing exactly what I just saw. You must be one of my neighbors.

There is definitely a Metrobus in front of my apartment right now. He stopped for a red light and has been trying for the last half hour to get moving again. Ice + uphill = not a good combination.
Cars are going sideways too.
Please stay off the roads.
