Schools
Arlington Public Schools are opening on a two-hour delay Wednesday due to extreme cold.
The delay — and cancelation of morning field trips — comes after APS opened on time Tuesday.
The temperature at 8 a.m. Wednesday is forecast to be 8 degrees, with 15 mph wind gusts. Fairfax County and a number of other D.C. area school systems are also opening on a delay (or, in the case of Prince William County, are closed) due to the cold.
More, below, from the alert sent to APS families around 6:15 p.m. today.
