The cancellations are due to expected hazardous winter weather conditions and apply to all school-related and community activities held on PWCS property during the affected times.

“All FCPS buildings and school facilities will be closed beginning at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, January 24, through Sunday, January 25,” Fredericksburg City Public Schools announced. “More information regarding school on Monday will be shared as it becomes available.”

“Expect to be indoors, as people are advised to remain off the roads,” the division added, noting families should also prepare for possible power outages due to ice and downed power lines.

“We are closely monitoring weather forecasts that indicate significant snowfall beginning later this weekend,” Stafford County Public Schools announced. “At this time, all activities and events scheduled after 5 pm on Saturday and all day Sunday are cancelled.”

“Due to the current cold weather advisory and anticipated extreme temperatures, the Community Health and Wellness Fair (including the Polar Pals Fun Run) has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 7.”

“NOTICE: All Stafford County Courts will be CLOSED on Monday, January 26, 2026,” Stafford County Government announced. “Please note, this is just the Courts at this time.”

The closure applies only to Stafford County courts. No other county government offices or services were included in the announcement.

A Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect for the region as dangerously cold air settles in tonight. Wind chills are expected to drop as low as 9 below zero, making it feel bitterly cold outdoors. These conditions increase the risk of hypothermia for anyone exposed for long periods without proper protection. Residents are urged to bundle up and limit time outside when possible.
