Montgomery County Public Schools will be closed Thursday due to snow.

MCPS originally announced a two-hour delay, with the caveat that another decision could be coming by 7 a.m. Administrative offices will open two hours late and day care programs in school buildings may open at 9 a.m.

The Montgomery County government will open as usual and trash and recycling pick-ups will proceed as normal. Regular Wednesday pick-ups are being made today due to last Saturday’s snow storm.
