Schools delay openings amid cold and ice

Franklin and Washington counties will see several schools open later than usual Monday morning as extreme cold and icy road conditions impact travel.

Waynesboro Area School District: 2 Hour Delay
Greencastle-Antrim School District: 2 Hour Delay
Chambersburg Area School District: not yet reported
Fairfield School District: 2 Hour Delay
Washington County Public Schools: 2 hour delay

Officials urge students, families and staff to use caution on slick roads and allow extra travel time.

Drivers should reduce speed, increase following distance and brake gently on snow or ice. Sudden movements can cause loss of control, so turning and stopping should be gradual. Keeping headlights on and clearing all windows improves visibility and safety.
