Most schools in northern Colorado cancel classes on Wednesday due to winter storm
Most of the major school districts in northern Colorado declared Wednesday a snow day. Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories are in effect in Larimer County and Weld County.
Poudre School District, Thompson School District, Estes Park Schools, Eaton School District RE-2, Greeley Evans School District, Johnstown-Milliken RE-5J, Weld RE-1, Weld RE-3 and Weld RE-7 schools won't have classes on Wednesday.
Poudre and Thompson schools made their announcements on Tuesday afternoon, long before any snowflakes began to fall. The decision was made due to concerns about icy road conditions and significant snow accumulation.
PSD schools will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, due to predicted inclement weather and road conditions. This is NOT a remote learning day. AlphaBEST before- and after-school care is closed too.

Students will still be in class across the Denver metro area, where snowfall totals are generally expected to be less.
A winter storm arrived overnight and is bringing much colder temperatures along with a considerable amount of snow for parts of the state. Between 3 and 7 inches of snow are expected by the end of the day on Wednesday in the Fort Collins/Loveland area, and the nearby Greeley area is expected to get almost as much.
