MADISON, Wis. – With nearly all of southern Wisconsin under Winter Storm Warnings from Tuesday morning into Wednesday, some schools are deciding to get ahead of the storm before the snow starts falling.
Winter storm warnings go into effect at 6 a.m. Tuesday until 9 a.m. Wednesday for Juneau, Adams, Richland, Crawford, and Grant counties.
The warnings start a few hours later at 9 a.m. Tuesday until noon Wednesday for Marquette, Green Lake, Sauk, Columbia, Dodge, Iowa, Dane, Jefferson, Lafayette, Green, Rock, and Walworth counties.
Both the Prairie du Chien and Wauzeka-Steuben school districts announced overnight they would be cancelling classes on Tuesday morning.
More districts have also announced cancellations Tuesday morning. You can find a full list of school closings and delays as they come in on Channel3000.com.
