Walt Whitman Middle School
A town hall meeting scheduled to take place at Walt Whitman is among the events canceled for Saturday.

All Fairfax County Public Schools facilities will be closed on Saturday and all scheduled activities are canceled.

The school system announced the closure Friday afternoon after a winter weather advisory was issued for the county and other nearby areas from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday. The National Weather Service says snow is expected in the morning before transitioning to sleet and freezing rain as temperatures rise. Eventually the precipitation is expected to become just rain.

Among the events canceled tomorrow is the town hall hosted by State Sen. Scott Surovell, State Sen. Adam Ebbin and Del. Paul Krizek. It had been scheduled to take place at Walt Whitman Middle School.
