There is currently a Winter Weather Advisory for Wednesday, February 12 into Thursday, February 13. The current advisory (is calling for 2-4″ of snow with 1/10″ of ice). That prediction is lower than earlier predictions of 4-8″.
With mid-winter break starting on Friday for most public school districts, I strongly suspect that schools will be closed on Thursday. We may possibly see an early release on Wednesday or the cancellation of evening activities.
School Closures
Hopefully if schools decide on early releases they announce them before the school day begins instead of only giving parents an hour or two of notice.
