Current Operational Impacts in Charlottesville and Albemarle County

Due to Winter Storm Fern, the associated ice accumulation and cold temperatures delaying the melting of ice, venues, attractions and roadways may have continued operational impacts. At the moment, these include:

  • Albemarle County Parks & Recreation: Due to continued work to clear roads and parking lots, the following park gates remain closed: Biscuit Run, Walnut Creek, Chris Greene, Mint Springs, Byrom Park, Totier Park, Simpson Park, and Preddy Creek. More information.
  • Reduced capacity at Downtown Charlottesville's Market Street Garage. More information.
  • The entire length of Skyline Drive is currently closed due to hazardous winter conditions. More information.

Conditions on trails and in outdoor recreation areas remain dangerous due to slippery ice. Please use caution, proper gear, and your best judgment when evaluating the safety of outdoor recreation.
