DMV Schools Remain Closed After Winter Storm, Cold Snap

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Days after a winter storm blanketed the DMV region with inches of snow, several school districts remain closed or delayed as they grapple with cleanup efforts and freezing temperatures. Culpeper County Public Schools announced they will stay closed through Friday, while other districts are monitoring conditions for potential delays or closures into next week.

The storm, which brought significant snowfall earlier this week, has left piles of snow lingering due to persistently cold weather. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing through the end of the week, complicating cleanup efforts and raising safety concerns for students and staff.

“We are prioritizing the safety of our students and employees,” said a spokesperson for Culpeper County Public Schools. “The combination of snow and ice, along with the ongoing cold, makes it unsafe to reopen at this time.”

Other districts in the region, including Fairfax County and Montgomery County, have also reported delays or closures. Officials are urging parents to stay updated through local news outlets and school district websites. FOX 5 is providing continuous updates on weather conditions and school closures.

With another potential weather system expected this weekend, the possibility of further disruptions looms. Meteorologists are advising residents to prepare for additional snowfall and icy conditions, which could extend school closures into next week.
