In-person classes at the University will not be held Tuesday, according to an email sent to the University community from, J.J. Davis, executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Ian Baucom, executive vice president and provost. This alert comes after the National Weather Service in Baltimore and Washington issued a Winter Storm Warning for Albemarle County starting 10 a.m. Tuesday and ending 7 a.m. Wednesday.
Davis is encouraging professors to hold classes virtually, and for non-designated academic division employees to remain home.
According to the Academic Operations Status Board, all dining halls and recreation facilities, including gyms, are to remain open. Shannon, Brown, Fine Arts, Law and Music Libraries will be closed, and Clemons is operating on a "modified schedule." Darden and Health Sciences Libraries are operating on a normal schedule.
In a statement to The Cavalier Daily, University Spokesperson Bethanie Glover said the status board will continue to be updated with any changes to the operating schedule of University facilities.
In the warning, the Weather Service writes that total snow and sleet accumulation between four and eight inches is expected. The statement also says that the "steadiest snow" is expected Tuesday afternoon and evening.
The Weather Service is encouraging residents not to travel, and if they must to bring a flashlight, food and water in their vehicle.
This is the second Winter Storm Warning issued for Charlottesville and Albemarle County in 2025. The winter storm that hit Charlottesville Jan. 5 and 6 delivered 4.5 inches of snow to the city, according to the Weather Service. The storm occurred during January term classes and recruitment for the Inter-Sorority Council, and classes were delayed until 12 p.m. Jan. 6.
