Schools letting out early due to weather

School officials are hedging their bets against Old Man Winter, letting classes out an hour early today.

Schools will dismiss at 2 p.m., today, with regular bus routes scheduled. The move is one of precaution as a winter storm is anticipated to hit the area as temperatures continue to drop this afternoon. A fair amount of wintry precipitation is expected to fall today and into tonight.

No decision on whether schools will be in session tomorrow will be made until tonight at the earliest. Officials will continue to monitor the weather and forecast for the area. Continue visiting The Press Online for the latest on closings and weather updates.
