Updated to note that PGCPS has retracted the previously called delay and will make a decision in the morning. 

Snowfall Monday was largely as expected, with up to an inch accumulating mainly on grassy areas. Roads remained mostly just wet, with minimal travel impact through the afternoon and evening. The focus now shifts to freezing rain overnight as temperatures hover near freezing.
