Another inch of snow will fall
in the Washington area this
afternoon, the Weather Bureau
predicted, after a temporary
cessation of the 17-hour snowfall
which blanketed the District to
a depth of 7 inches.
Estimating the city will see 8
inches of snow by night, the fore
caster said it will snow intermittent
ly for the rest of the day. Clearing
skies and colder weather can be
expected tonight and tomorrow.
City and suburban schools were
closed, vehicular traffic of all types
was partially paralyzed and Gov
ernment departments were prepared
for early dismissal of employees.
The Weather Bureau said the city
is almost certain to see a white
Christmas. Sub-freezing. tempera-
lures in the offing for the next week
probably will keep a good part Of
the snowfall on the city's streets
until the first of next year.
Schools in Area Close.
The Weather Bureau also said
there is possibility that more snow
may fall Christmas Eve or Christmas
Day. The park police said the
Lincoln Memorial rejecting pool
probably will be opened to skaters
before Christmas.
Public schools officials in Wash
ington, Alexandria, Arlington, Fair
fax, Montgomery and Prince
Georges told their pupils to stay
home because of the snow. Some
Catholic institutions followed the
action of the public schools.
Barring drastic change, District
schools and those of Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties will
reopen tomorrow. Arlington pupils,
however, will not return to class
until January 2, and Alexandria
school children are not due to re-
sumo studying until January 8.
Working Mothers Indignant.
The decision to suspend classes in
schools here today brought a num-
Der of indignant calls this morning
from working mothers who wanted
to know who was going to look after
their children today at home.
Police reported more than a score
Of traffice accidents, most of them
not serious, as motorists were un-
able to cope with the combination
OF new snow and the layers of old
ice beneath the new layer.
Government workers will not be
held accountable for tardiness to-
day, the Civil Service Commission
said, in recognizing the difhculty
bus and streetcar riders experienced
this morning in reaching their Of
fees.
Airline Flights Cancelled.
All airlines Cancelled flights In
and out of the city last night and
expected no change in the situation
until noon at the earliest. . Most
trains were running late. Greyhound
bus lines were forced to suspend
trips to points south of Richmond
during the night but service was
resumed this morning.
Bus line officials reported heavy
drifts brought about cancellation of
scheduled trips from Fairfax and
Upperville, Va, to Winchester. Other
