Snow covered cars fill the student parking lot as harsh winter weather impact dangerous driving conditions.
Severe winter weather conditions lead to recommendations for seniors to not leave for off campus lunch today, Jan 14. These conditions lead the admin team to make an announcement informing students of how bad the weather conditions are, including a comment from the Aurora Police Department that addresses multiple accidents in the school area due to inclement weather conditions.
The snow and wind conditions are projected to continue through 10:30 a.m., according to weather.com. The weather channel also released a special weather statement in effect until 11:00 a.m.
“Accumulating snow with gusty winds will continue to result in hazardous road conditions and poor visibility this morning,” weather.com said. “Where snow is falling, visibility will briefly fall to one quarter mile or less. Also, icy conditions will persist with temperatures falling into the lower 20s. Motorists are advised to leave extra time to reach their destinations this morning and be prepared to encounter hazardous travel. Take it slow and keep a safe following distance when driving.”
Accuweather.com has a similar warning in place starting at 9:20 a.m. and continuing through 11:00 a.m., saying that the snow will be heavy at times, with the prospect of getting an inch of snow as conditions continue throughout the morning. Drivers are advised to be cautious and maintain a greater following distance to account for weather unpredictability.
