Some Colorado schools to close Wednesday due to snowy conditions
Some Colorado schools have opted to close on Wednesday due to a snowstorm moving through the state.
The storm system will bring heavy, wet snow on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the highest accumulation in the mountains and foothills.
Initially, the Poudre School District announced cancellations at several mountain schools for Wednesday. The weather closures were extended to the entire district early Tuesday evening.
"Since these conditions may make it unsafe to provide student transportation on mountain routes, this decision was made out of an abundance of caution, with student and staff safety as our top priority," the district said in a release. "We know schedule changes can be disruptive, and we appreciate your understanding as we respond to rapidly changing weather conditions."
Other schools that have announced closures for Wednesday include:
- Briggsdale School RE 10-J
- Cherry Hills Christian School
- Estes Park Schools
- Lotus School for Excellence
It's possible that other districts in the state may cancel classes on Wednesday due to the weather. This story will be updated with any new closures as they're announced.
Other schools will start on a delayed schedule on Wednesday, including:
- Limon Public Schools
The Oval at Colorado State University will be closing early on Tuesday due to the weather.
"The Oval will be closed starting at 6 p.m. today due to wet, heavy snow on tree branches. Barricades will be placed to ensure safety. The Oval will remain closed tomorrow for further assessment. The University will continue to monitor the weather situation and provide updates on operations if necessary," the university said.
