PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. — Prince William County Schools has canceled all school learning, in-person and digital. It has also closed all offices and school buildings for Wednesday's winter storm, according to the school district.
Areas north and west of D.C. such as northern Loudoun, northern Montgomery, Fairfax, Manassas, Frederick, could pick up 3 to 6 inches as these areas will also be favored for cold air, but could also get some mixing that would cut down on snow totals.
