In a decision prompted by the chill wrath of winter, Montgomery County has announced a shutdown of government offices for today. The closure comes as a response to the ongoing winter weather conditions that have blanketed the area, presenting hazardous conditions, including lingering ice and general unsafety for would-be travelers. According to an official statement on the Montgomery County website, the inclement weather has necessitated that facilities remain off-limits to the public to ensure their safety.
With the icy grip of winter refusing to loosen, residents looking to make use of county services will not be stymied entirely. Despite the shut doors and the cold silence of deserted public buildings, Montgomery County offers a plethora of online services for those who need to conduct their government business.

For the most current information on closures and service availability, residents are advised to keep a weather eye on the county’s official channels…
