Spotsylvania County Public Schools Snow Day Predictor

Spotsylvania announces closings by 5:30 a.m, by its own published protocol.

By the district website, local TV, radio and social media, and on the district’s own closings page.

2 hours: on a delay morning every school starts that much later.

May 28, 2027, on the district’s 2026 to 2027 calendar.

About 6.3 inches a winter at a NOAA weather station 7.9 miles away, averaged over 7 winters. Between December 1 and March 31 that brings 1.3 weekday mornings a year with 2 inches of new snow or more, and 0.4 with 4 inches or more.

It reads the National Weather Service forecast for Fredericksburg through the night and the 5 to 8 am bus run, adds winter alerts and the Winter Storm Severity Index, and measures the snow against Spotsylvania’s own big snow morning: 4.1 inches, the top tenth of snowy weekday mornings at a NOAA weather station 7.9 miles away.

Virginia requires at least 180 teaching days or 990 teaching hours, or state aid is reduced. After 5 closures, only one of every two further days must be made up; the Board of Education can also waive make-up when every reasonable effort is exhausted.
