A Thursday evening snowstorm dumped about two inches of snow on Reston, making it slow going for those who have to get somewhere Friday morning.

The snow will stick around for a bit too. Friday is expected to be unusually cold and windy. The high is 22 degrees, but with strong winds it should feel like the single digits.

Here is what you need to know:

As of 8:15 a.m., Dominion Virginia Power reported more than 1,700 customers in Fairfax County without power, but it seems Reston was unaffected by outages.
