FEB recommends Baltimore-area feds leave early; OPM to keep DC-area offices open

The Office of Personnel Management says it’s monitoring the weather situation for Washington, D.C. federal offices.

Ahead of the expected winter weather, including freezing rain, the Baltimore Federal Executive Board is recommending agencies in that region close at 1:30 p.m. on Monday.

The National Weather Service says Baltimore is experiencing snow showers and freezing rain is expected until about 6 p.m. when temperatures rise above freezing.

The final decision is up to each individual agency, however.

As for D.C.-area federal employees, the Office of Personnel Management said in a tweet that DC-area offices will remain open. “For further guidance, employees should follow their agency’s policies and procedures,” OPM said on Twitter.

Federal News Radio’s sister station WTOP reports that several D.C.-area school systems are closing early as freezing rain is expected to fall starting this afternoon and continuing into the evening.
