District of Columbia officials spent over $67 million on cleanup after the January 2025 winter storm in the district, closing roads and sidewalks for days after the snow pileup.

The district government took heat in late January and early February from critics who slammed Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration’s cleanup efforts during and after the storm, when freezing temperatures led to a layer of ice forming above the significant snowfall. That slow snow clearance, however, cost the district nearly $70 million.
