WASHINGTON — A snowball fight is set for 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Dupont Circle, organized by the Washington D.C. Snowball Fight Association.

The association is asking you to prepare to defend, or assault, the fountain.

And with the Weather Channel’s top storm chaser, Jim Cantore, in town to cover Thursday’s snow, the group wants you to reach out to him on Twitter, in hopes that he’ll show up in the battle zone.
