If you aren't in the market for a new vehicle, there are still plenty of sales at stores keyed to today's holiday.

Federal, state and local government will be shut down today, as will the courts at all levels. While most banks will be closed, TD Bank will be open.

The U.S. Postal Service will have no counter service or regular mail delivery, but Express Mail will be delivered.

It will be business as usual for FedEx and UPS, which recognize Washington's Birthday, but do not observe it by closing.

Trash pickup schedules vary. Concord and Portsmouth trash pickups will be made as usual. Manchester will pick up Monday's route on Tuesday, along with regular Tuesday pickups, with the rest of the week's pickups on the usual day. In Nashua, Monday pickups will be done Tuesday and the rest of the week slides a day, ending with Friday's routes being picked up Saturday.

School schedules are widely varied today. Twenty-four districts, including Conway, Hanover, Mascoma Valley, Madison and Hinsdale, begin their winter vacation today.

Seven school districts are taking only today off. Manchester, Nashua, Dover, Hooksett, Auburn, Candia and Timberlane Regional are closed today for the holiday. Everybody else has classes as usual.
