Arlington Public Schools will operate at a two-hour delay tomorrow (Tuesday), sending students back to school for the first time in more than a week.
The delay will allow bus riders to arrive at their stops in daylight and provides more time to travel to school, APS said. The school system has been closed for ice and snow since last Monday.

After a frigid and snow covered past week and a half — and yet another APS snow day — you might be ready for a big warm-up.
Bad news: we have at least another week of mostly freezing temperatures, according to the forecast, and six more weeks of winter, according to Punxsutawney Phil.
The groundhog saw his shadow this morning in the woods of Pennsylvania.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of wintry weather Monday, a forecast sure to disappoint many after what’s already been a long, cold season across large parts of the United States.
His annual prediction and announcement that he had seen his shadow was translated by his handlers in the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club at Gobbler’s Knob in western Pennsylvania.
The news was greeted with a mix of cheers and boos from the tens of thousands who braved temperatures in the single-digits Fahrenheit to await the annual prognostication. The extreme cold kept the crowd bundled up and helped keep people on the main stage dancing.
Usually guests can come up on stage and take pictures of Phil after his prediction, but this year the announcer said it was too cold for that and his handlers were afraid to keep him out too long. Instead, the audience was asked to come to the stage, turn around and “do a selfie.”
The club says that when Phil is deemed to have not seen his shadow, that means there will be an early spring. When he does see it, it’s six more weeks of winter. Phil tends to predict a longer winter far more often than an early spring.
Is cabin fever setting in, after one of the longest stretches of very cold temperatures in recent memory? Are you in desperate need of a warm weather escape while winter still rages here in Arlington?
Let’s find out how many local need to get away.
Arlington is gearing up to celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday with a history festival and, potentially, a bell-ringing, outdoor movies and more.
“It’s a great opportunity” to bring history to the people, said Peter Vaselopulos, president of the Arlington Historical Society.
White House Slams Arlington — “The Trump administration fired back at local Democratic leadership in a Washington, D.C., suburb, that had called on residents to dial 911 to report sightings of ICE and federal immigration enforcement… “Inciting people to call 911 when they see ICE is reckless and will directly harm public safety,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.” [Fox News]
Temporary Hotel Proposal — “A portion of a 27-story luxury apartment building in Rosslyn, the nearly completed replacement for the RCA building at 1901 N. Moore St., is being pitched as a temporary hotel until leasing occupancy picks up. A proposal to convert 125 units in one of its two towers into a temporary hotel for five years was filed with the Arlington County Zoning Division on Monday.” [WBJ]
Snow Hauling Continues — “Crews hauled more than *5,000* truckloads of snow! , To put that in perspective, the giant snow pile at 14th St N is “only” 230 truck loads, less than 5% of the total snow hauled!” [Arlington County/X]
Rescuers Training at Pond — “Ice rescue training underway. Our Water Rescue Team took advantage of freezing temperatures to practice critical cold-water rescue skills. Special thanks to the Army Navy Country Club for allowing us to train on their pond.” [ACFD/X]
Va. Tax Bills — “Republicans in Richmond have been calling attention to all the bills that Democratic legislators have introduced that would raise taxes — something that would seem to be at odds with an agenda of making things more affordable. It is true that there are about two dozen or more bills that have some sort of tax increase. However, Democrats counter that many of these are so targeted that they don’t really affect the general public.” [Cardinal News, WJLA]
DCA Sexual Assault Case — “A federal jury convicted an Indian national yesterday on charges of abusive sexual contact and assault onboard a flight. According to court records and evidence presented at trial, on Aug. 29, 2024, during final approach on a flight from Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, a passenger awoke to find Varun Arora, 38, sexually groping her.” [USDOJ]
ICE Arrests in D.C. — “ICE arrests in D.C. peaked in late August after President Trump’s federal surge — and while they dropped afterward, the numbers show immigration enforcement stayed persistent.” [Axios]
Dems Appeal Redistricting Ruling — “Lawyers for Virginia House Speaker Don Scott (D-Portsmouth) have filed an emergency motion asking the state Court of Appeals to prevent a judge from blocking the legislature’s redistricting effort, saying a ruling earlier this week against the proposed amendment to the state constitution amounted to unprecedented interference in the democratic process.” [Washington Post]
Snow to Stick Around — “When is this “snowcrete” nonsense going to finally MELT? Wouldn’t surprise us if some of it is still hanging around in MARCH. The prolonged cold has largely prevented the frozen conglomeration that fell on Sunday from melting, and there’s no sign of a meaningful thaw or rainstorm to erode it anytime soon.” [CWG/X]
Midweek Snow Chance — “Computer models still show a weak impulse slipping just to our south Tuesday night into early Wednesday, probably bringing a period of snow. We still think a coating to one inch is most probable but up to a few inches or no snow are alternative possibilities.” [CWG/X]
