The team plans to fly from Montreal to Newark, N.J., and take a bus from there to Washington. A team spokesperson said the club expects to make it to Washington tonight.

The snow is considerably over 20 inches in downtown Washington but has diminished to light snowfall and is expected to end imminently.
