After seeing the road myself and consulting with the county engineers office about the conditions of the county roads and the prospect of safe travel tomorrow I am going to postpone homecoming. We are currently another level three an appointment cannot be kept today and I don’t expect it to be much different tomorrow. I tried to wait as long as I could in order to give the homecoming dance a chance for this weekend. I was banking on the fact the weather forecast was going to be wrong as it often is. I do think it was probably not exactly what they said but it certainly is not good. Snow until one day and a low of seven tonight with windchill‘s below zero. That is not conducive for road improvement. Another big issue is the fact that so many of our kids right now don’t have electricity. It
School for tomorrow has been canceled. The ball game for tomorrow night has also been canceled. We are planning have the homecoming dance on Saturday night if we can safely do so and the electricity cooperates. I will let you know as soon as I have updated information regarding the homecoming dance on Saturday night.

Bus 17 stopped at a wreck of some type on Pike Lake Road near Tanglewood acres. They are loading up the car now on a rollback. She has to wait for them to get out of her way to come on through so she will be a few minutes late picking her kids up. She didn’t think it would be very long before she got through. Just wanted to let all parents know on that route that your kids will be picked up a few minutes later than normal.
Trace it on bus 18 is having some mechanical issues this morning. She is switching out buses right now. Her first pick up will be about 20 minutes later than normal. First pick up should be right around 715.

We will be operating on a two hour delay this morning.
This is 124 coming out of Latham
The county did the best they could on the west side. Every place that does not have grit is ice. Our parking lot is solid ice. The further I drove the worse it got. 124 has some really icy spots all the way through. 124 in front of the school is solid ice. There are spots that typically aren’t bad that are ice covered. Please be careful if you’re out driving. We are going to have to cancel. I will update everyone on the ball game as soon as we know something. It all depends on what happens with the ice from this point on.
I’m going to go ahead and call a two hour delay for tomorrow. If you live on 124 or any other valleys it’s probably just raining like it is at my house but if you’re on any of the hills it is snowing. The forecasted low is 20°. Going to start out with a delay to give some daylight and some time maybe for the roads to clear up. The following three pictures are of Aeurville , Pinetop, and Lapperel in the last hour and a half
