❄️ Winter Storm Fern – Tuesday Morning Update ❄️

Icy roads remain across parts of Gillespie County this morning, especially in shaded and rural areas. Please limit non‑essential travel and use extreme caution if you must be out. Sunshine and warming temperatures today should help improve conditions.

Most City streets are clear, but Highway 16 North, Highway 783, and several FM roads remain fully iced over. TxDOT continues applying melting materials countywide.

City Sanitation: Monday & Tuesday trash routes will be collected today as soon as conditions allow.

Out of an abundance of caution, Fredericksburg ISD will be closed Tuesday, January 27, 2026.

Roadways remain wet and could refreeze overnight, particularly in areas outside city limits. While some locations may appear clear, conditions can vary across the community. This decision helps reduce traffic during early morning hours and supports local law enforcement and emergency personnel as they continue public safety operations.

We will continue to work with city, county, and emergency officials to monitor conditions and share updates as needed through official district communication channels.

Families are encouraged to rely on the district website and messaging systems for accurate information.
