Most federal, state, county and city offices are closed today, with the exception of emergency services like the Missouri State Highway Patrol and sheriff departments.

The Go COMO public transit system is not operating today, and parking enforcement is suspended. The Albert-Oakland family aquatic center, Lake of the Woods pool and Douglass family aquatic center will be open today from 1-5 pm.
