Habersham County schools closed Wednesday

Habersham County public school students will get another snow day on Wednesday. School is cancelled for students. Staff should report to work by 10am or when it’s safe to do so.

In making the announcement, Superintendent Matthew Cooper said there’s real concern that the slush and melted snow on roads will re-freeze overnight. Temperatures are supposed to dip down into the 20s and the National Weather Service is warning motorists about the possibilities and dangers of black ice.

Tomorrow will be the fifth snow day for students in two weeks. Last week they were out due to ice dumped on the region by Winter Storm Octavia.

More bad weather is expected to roll in tomorrow. A winter storm warning has been issued starting at 4pm Wednesday through 7am Thursday.

In his pre-recorded announcement to parents Cooper said, “Not sure about students but I know our parents are looking forward to the end of winter.”
