WINTER STORM CONTINUED DELAYS AND CLOSURES
Delays and closures continue for Wednesday, as this early winter storm hangs over the High Plains. We’re expecting a mix of more snow, sleet, and freezing rain, with freezing cold temperatures and wind chill values in single digits. The storm is still expected to start to move out by Thursday, with temperatures back in the low 60s by this coming weekend. Please give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination and drive carefully. We will update this page in real time as we receive information on closures and delays. Here is a look at school and local business closures, early dismissals, and delays due to the inclement weather.
