(Updated at 7:25 a.m.) The inch or so of snow that fell overnight was enough — possibly in combination with frigid wind chills later today — for Arlington public school students to get a day off on what was already a shortened holiday week.
“All APS Schools will be closed and offices will open at noon,” APS announced this morning. “Extracurricular activities, interscholastic games, team practices, field trips, adult education classes, and programs in schools and on school grounds are canceled.”
County government, along with the federal government, is opening on a two hour delay.
“Most facilities will open at 10 a.m.,” the county said. “Unscheduled leave and telework options are available to County employees, with supervisor’s approval.”
Courts will also open at 10 a.m., as will the Arlington Mill Community Center. All other community centers are slated to open at noon (“unless their normal operating hours have them opening later.”)
The following county programs are closed today:
- All Early Childhood Programs (Preschool and Co-ops)
- Dept. of Parks and Recreation elementary or teen after school programs
- All Enjoy Arlington classes, 55+ classes, trips and nature center programs
- Sports league activities in APS standalone buildings
Trash, however, is still being picked up.
Residential trash collection is continuing despite the snow, with the shift by one day this week. So regular Wednesday routes are being picked up today. Christmas trees too. pic.twitter.com/Rj470vInmA

And Metrorail says it is running just fine for a change.
Metrorail is operating on/near schedule. Customers are reminded to use caution while traveling through the Metrorail system as platforms and escalators can be very slippery. Crews continue working to keep platforms and walkways clear. #wmata

For those hitting the roads, neighborhood streets are still largely untreated, and there is at least one report of a car abandoned in the middle of a roadway. As of 7:25 a.m., Arlington County says its plow crews are working mostly on clearing primary routes.

Drive with extra caution if you have to drive at all. Salt trucks are dealing with the snow but it's slushy, slippery and cold. #ArlWX https://t.co/HdhoMPlr9g pic.twitter.com/r8hbtg1UV8
