Our area is expecting a little bit of snow today and this evening. For the most up to date info, I have found that NBC29 tends to have the most accurate info. Albemarle’s school closing link is a dead link to NBC29.
We tend to have an inordinate amount of school closings, in my opinion. The primary reason for this is that our counties still are quite rural. My understanding is that if one rural road is dangerous, the entirety of the school division shuts down. That we still have so much rural areas is gratifying in a way, and one of the reasons Central VA is so desirable.
Surprisingly, 29 does not yet have their red jackets on yet (archived: 2008).
