Herndon Area Snow Closures

Several school and government services and community activities are being canceled Friday in anticipation of afternoon snow.

The Capital Weather Gang anticipates 1 to 2 inches of snow will fall between 2 and 5 p.m. Friday.

A winter weather advisory from the National Weather Service is in place from 2 to 9 p.m. for Vienna and surrounding cities and counties.

The service predicts "snow will begin during the mid-afternoon and taper off in the evening. Snow may be moderate to locally heavy at times during the late afternoon and early evening."

Roads will become snow covered and slippery, the service says, "resulting in hazardous travel during the afternoon and evening commute." 

The following services and activities in and around Vienna are affected as of 11:10 a.m.:
