Federal offices in the D.C. area are closed today due to the expected snow storm.
Non-emergency federal employees will have the day off, unless their office requires them to telework.
“Telework-Ready Employees who are scheduled to perform telework on the effective day of the announcement or who are required to perform telework on a day when Federal offices are closed must telework the entire workday or request leave, or a combination of both, in accordance with their agency’s policies and procedures, subject to any applicable collective bargaining requirements,” according to the Office of Personnel Management.
Arlington County government offices and courts, meanwhile, are open today.
All Arlington public schools are closed, but community centers and pools remain open. All evening activities are canceled. Essential APS employees must report to work but teachers are being asked to work from home and other employees are being allowed to telework.
ART bus service, like Metro service, will be running on a normal schedule this morning but may reduce service levels as weather conditions dictate.
Arlington’s Emergency Winter Shelter will remain open throughout the day today due to falling temperatures and the expected snowfall.
