Over the last several days, it has been extremely cold plus wind chills well below zero have made it even dangerous to be outside for long periods of time.
With the holiday break that hasn't mattered too much, but now with many districts opening back up for school everyone wants to know.... is it too cold for school?
Another cold front will move through this evening and the coldest air and wind chills will come on Thursday and Friday mornings.
While waiting for the bus as much skin should be covered as possible. At those wind chills frostbite can occur at around 30 minutes of exposure.
It will be 3 above Thursday morning and 5 below on Friday morning, but wind chills both mornings should be around 25 below zero. School is much more likely to be closed than today.
If your child, whether a younger or older student, goes to school, they need to take this seriously and dress in their full winter gear to stay protected.
You can get all of your school closings on our website.
The number of schools closed is small right now, but will likely be growing through the end of the week.
