The snow falling in Arlington is providing a wintry ambiance — but little accumulation to speak of so far.
That may change tonight as temperatures fall and roads are expected to become more slippery. Many seem to be heeding calls to stay at home, however, with only light traffic reported on Arlington’s primary routes and highways as of 6 p.m.
Arlington County says its snow crews are out and about, treating main roads. Plowing is likely to be unnecessary, given that only an inch or so of accumulation is expected before the flakes taper off before midnight.
Despite what is turning out to be relatively light snowfall, some Saturday closures have been reported. Among them, morning activities at Arlington Public Schools are cancelled.

First shift of storm response, some 40 trucks, is out checking and treating known trouble spots before snow accumulates on roads after dark. Plan to avoid travel tonight into morning, giving crews space and time to work. #ArlWX https://t.co/DuInmBchJW pic.twitter.com/Ap5YJG8Jg6
