Sleet, Snow Cancels Saturday Programs

Fairfax city and county programs are taking a day off due to Friday night's sleet and snow.

Fairfax County Public Schools have canceled all extracurricular activities for Saturday, including interscholastic competitions, team practices, field trips, professional learning and training courses, all adult and community education classes and recreation programs in schools.

In addition, there will be no classes at Green Acres and the Sherwood Community Center.

Beware of slippery driving conditions. Fairfax County has offered the following driving tips:

• Clear the snow and ice from your vehicle’s roof, hood and trunk and especially from the windows, mirrors and lights.
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Leave a few minutes early.
• Be aware of potentially icy areas such as shady spots and bridges.
• Keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles.
