Snow Photos Wanted From Fairfax City For Winter Storm Gallery

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Tuesday was supposed to be the day when everyone returned to work or school following the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, but Mother Nature had a different plan for Fairfax City residents.

A winter storm warning was in effect to 10 a.m. on Tuesday for most of Virginia, Maryland and Washington, D.C., according to the National Weather Service. While snow is expected to taper off during the morning hours, it will be replaced in some areas by sleet or freezing rain.

As a result, not only did Fairfax County Public Schools cancel classes Tuesday, Fairfax City and Fairfax County offices were opening on a two-hour delay. In addition, all federal offices in the Washington, D.C. area were closed, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

If you are stuck at home due to the snowstorm, Patch is calling for photo submissions showing how the first big snowstorm of the 2023-2024 season is shaping up in your neighborhood. Photos may be emailed to fairfaxcity@patch.com.

Send only photos you have taken. By submitting a photo, you give Patch consent to use it in its Winter Storm Photo Gallery.

Please include the town the photo was taken in so that your photos will appear in your local Patch.
