Winter has arrived in North Carolina, bringing snow, ice, and changes to school schedules. In Charlotte, kids saw their first snow in three years! Nearby areas faced slippery roads due to ice. Because of the winter weather, several school districts—like Iredell, Lincoln, Alexander, and Ashe counties—had to change their plans for the day.
What Schools Are Doing This Tuesday:
– Iredell County Schools: Closed for the day, but teachers can choose to work from home.
– Lincoln County Schools: Delayed opening by two hours because of black ice.
– Alexander County Schools: Also delayed by two hours.
– Ashe County Schools: Students will learn from home, starting at 9 a.m. for elementary kids and 10 a.m. for high schoolers.
Other districts, including Guilford, Winston-Salem/Forsyth, and Lexington City Schools, have also closed or delayed their schedules, offering remote learning options where possible.
Expect cold weather this week! Temperatures will stay in the 40s during the day and drop to near record lows in the 20s at night. Tonight, the coldest air of the season is expected, with temperatures likely reaching the teens. Charlotte might even drop to around 20 degrees, just above the record low of 18 set in 2000.
