Description
HERNDON, VA — Monday was supposed to be the day when everyone returned to work or school following the New Year's holiday, but Mother Nature had a different plan for Herndon residents.
A cold front passing through the Washington, D.C. region during morning rush hour on Monday delivered colder temperatures, sleet and snow, with the area expecting 3-7 inches of snow on the ground before it's all over.
As a result, not only did Fairfax County Public Schools cancel classes Monday, federal offices in the Washington, D.C. area and Fairfax County were closed too. This resulted in many county services and meetings being canceled or rescheduled.
In Herndon, town offices, the Herndon Community Center and the tennis bubble all opened on time on Monday. Non-essential employees were able to take advantage of liberal leave.
