Maryland Schools Go Virtual Amid Frigid Temps
30 Jan
Summary
- Several Maryland schools will switch to virtual learning on Friday.
- Some districts have exhausted their snow days and are now online.
- Cold weather has caused widespread closures since Monday, Jan. 26.

As of Friday, January 30, 2026, numerous schools across Maryland are shifting to virtual learning or will remain closed. This measure is in response to the continued dangerously cold weather impacting the state.
The necessity for these closures stems from a winter storm that began on Monday, January 26, 2026. This storm deposited several inches of snow and sleet, leading to hazardous icy road conditions throughout Maryland.
With winter weather persisting, certain school districts have exhausted their allotted snow days. Consequently, they are transitioning to virtual learning days to ensure educational continuity for students.
