I strongly recommend not driving during snow here. Even if you're experienced, lots of other drivers are complete idiots. Plenty of folks decide to go with summer tires year round. The snow here tends to be wet, sticky, and then icy.

Buses are bad too. Metro is your best bet if you have to go into DC.
