Concerns Over Colorado Snowstorm Lead To Some School Closings

(CBS4) - Many schools are off this holiday week in Colorado, but for those that are still holding classes in the early part of the week, the upcoming snowstorm is having an effect. A Winter Storm Warning goes into effect Monday night and continues through 5 p.m. Tuesday for all of northeast Colorado including the entire Denver metro area.

The University of Northern Colorado announced on Monday morning that they will cancel all classes after noon on Monday and they will be closed on Tuesday. They had been scheduled to have classes on Monday and Tuesday this week. University administrators wrote on Facebook that they "encourage students to travel safely home." They also wrote "Stay safe and warm, UNC Bears! Have a great, well-deserved break!"

School districts that are holding classes this week include the Cherry Creek School District (Monday & Tuesday only) and Poudre School District (Monday & Tuesday only), among others.
