Snow closes area schools once again
HUNTINGTON — A cold Arctic front is moving through the region, bringing frigid temperatures and turning mixed precipitation into snow.
The following school announcements have been made concerning Wednesday classes:
West Virginia
School closings: Cabell, Lincoln, Mason, Putnam and Wayne counties, along with St. Joseph Elementary School, St. Joseph High School, Our Lady of Fatima, Grace Christian, Huntington Covenant, Teays Valley Christian, Head Start (Cabell, Wayne, Mason and Lincoln) and TIPS.
Two-hour delays: Huntington Junior College.
Ohio
School closings: Chesapeake Christian, Chesapeake Local, Dawson Bryant Local, Fairland Local, Ironton Catholic Schools, Ironton City Schools, Lawrence County Open Door, Ohio Valley Christian, Rock Hill Local, South Point Local, Symmes Valley Local and Collins Career Center.
Kentucky
School closings: Ashland Holy Family, Ashland Independent Schools, Boyd County, Calvary Christian, Greenup County, Raceland-Worthington, Rose Hill Christian and Fairview Independent.
Much of the Tri-State is under a winter storm warning through Thursday morning, as the National Weather Service is predicting 1 to 2 inches by Wednesday morning, followed by another 1 to 3 inches through early afternoon.
And it won't just be the snow residents and motorists will be dealing with. It's also cold and windy conditions that will bring gusts of up to 36 mph and wind chills into the single digits.
The latest storm brought a couple of inches to the Tri-State early Tuesday morning, forcing most area schools to close. The Tuesday morning change from snow to sleet to rain also led to several vehicle accidents.
More problems are expected during the Wednesday morning commute as wet roads freeze over and become snow covered.
