Snow Day or Work Day? Here’s What Monday Looks Like

On Sunday, the snow stopped, the sun came out and the cleanup began.

Monday will also be a work in progress as Reston and the entire Washington, D.C.. area tries to get back to business after the two-day blizzard. Reston received nearly 30 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Here is some news to know this morning.

Fairfax County Public Schools and Government are closed.

Reston Association is closed.

The Federal Government is closed with most employees teleworking.

Fairfax County Supervisor Sharon Bulova held a joint press conference with Gov. Terry McAuliffe Sunday. Both officials asked for patience as the state and county removed snow from roads.

They asked that drivers still remain off of roads.

“It is critical that VDOT crews are able to effectively clear the streets and public safety can respond to emergencies,” Bulova said. “Clean up will take several days!”

Added Bulova: “There are miles of sidewalks that need to be shoveled and we need your help. Please make sure all the sidewalks and walking paths in your neighborhood are shoveled. Help out your older or disabled neighbors who are not able to shovel. We also ask that you shovel out fire hydrants. By working together, we will get back to normal much faster.”
