In the past 20 years the Frederick County Courthouse has only closed for snow 3 times

Not even for freezing rain, or ice storms…

Many people with court dates assume that if the Frederick County Government announces  it’s closed due to inclement weather, the court system is part of the county government… the Frederick County Courthouse is still likely to be open. If you were due in court for a child custody case, or a divorce case, either the case could be continued, the case could be tried without you, you won’t be there to defend yourself!

If you had a traffic case or a criminal case that day. that assumption could get you a bench warrant issued for Failure To Appear!
