Weather
We are expecting a cold but clear day with a little fresh snow on the ground, and this rally is so on! Be sure to dress warmly (coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and warm socks) and bring an umbrella just in case. Do drive especially carefully if you are arriving the night before the rally.
We are consulting with an event meteorologist on a daily basis, and can pass along this information to anyone who is interested. We are also happy to note that the Park Service has never cancelled an event on the National Mall for weather reasons!
