Central Ohio Schools Close Due to Extreme Cold and Weather Advisory
Several school districts in Central Ohio announced closures for Tuesday, January 21, due to low temperatures and a National Weather Service cold weather alert. The extreme weather conditions, which included sub-zero temperatures and wind chills as low as -9 degrees, prompted immediate action from school administrators.
Initially, some districts planned two-hour delays on Tuesday, but eventually revised their plans, opting for full closures owing to the expected high cold.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a cold weather advisory for the whole region, forecasting wind chills of -9°F and flurries before midday. There is a minor risk of snow showers between noon and 4 p.m.
