Wed Jan 08 21:30:00 UTC 2025: **Northern Virginia Schools Delay or Close Due to Icy Conditions**
**Ashburn, VA – January 9, 2014** – Significant winter weather across Northern Virginia forced several school districts to delay or cancel classes on Thursday, January 9th. Icy road conditions and overnight icing were the primary reasons cited for the closures.
Fauquier County Public Schools and Spotsylvania County Public Schools remained closed due to hazardous road conditions, particularly in rural areas. Culpeper County Public Schools extended their closure through Friday, January 10th. Loudoun County Public Schools operated on a two-hour delay. In contrast, Marine Corps Base Quantico remained open, operating under normal conditions. The image of snow-covered school buses in Ashburn in February 2014, while unrelated to this specific weather event, highlights the common impact of winter weather on the region’s schools.
