SNOW!

Fairfax City students woke up to a white front lawn and a two-hour Fairfax County Public Schools and George Mason University delay Thursday morning.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory until 9 a.m. NWS said Fairfax could see about an inch of snow, enough to make for a messy morning commute, as well as temperatures in the teens to lower 20s.

Drivers should take it slow, leave plenty of room between their vehicle and surrounding traffic, and be aware of slippery roads and low visibility as they make their way to work.

Fairfax City snow vehicles treated city streets with a salt-brine solution Wednesday in anticipation of the winter weather, according to an alert sent out by eMAS.

The Fairfax area could get even more on Friday. An NWS forecast said there's a 70 percent chance Fairfax will see more of the white stuff between 1-9 p.m.

Weather closures:

• Fairfax County Public Schools: Two-hour delay
• George Mason University: Open at 9 a.m.
• Fairfax County Government Offices: Open, employees can take unscheduled leave.
• Fairfax County Circuit Court, General District Court and Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court: Open
