Luckily for scofflaws, this snow emergency hasn't been widely enforced since Friday at best. I crawled up Georgia Ave Friday evening and saw thousands of cars parked along the sides and zero tickets issued and no tow trucks working. It seems conditions were similar all over the city. Another score for DC gov!
