Winter Restaurant Week in the DMV extended due to snow

The Metropolitan Washington Winter Restaurant Week will be extended from Jan. 22 to 28, giving MoCo residents more time to try out new restaurants and enjoy specially priced menus across the Washington, D.C. region. The extension comes after a week of snowy and icy weather conditions that made roadways slick and canceled schools three times.

“This extension is an opportunity for more people to safely enjoy what our local restaurants have to offer, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of our industry,” Shawn Townsend, RAMW President and CEO said.

Two Montgomery County Police cruisers struck in one night, sending officers to hospital

Two Montgomery County Police cars were hit while officers were on duty Thursday night, according to police.

One officer was responding to a shooting around 10:45 p.m. when a woman rear-ended his car at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Grace Church Road in Silver Spring. The driver was arrested, and police said that she was driving under the influence.

Then, around 11 p.m., an officer responded to the Columbia Pike and Dustin Road area in Burtonsville for a disabled vehicle, police said. The officer got out of her car, put the emergency lights on and positioned it “to offer protection from oncoming traffic,” when someone struck the officer’s cruiser, causing the car to hit her, according to police.

Both officers were taken to nearby hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. [DC News Now]
