ANNAPOLIS, MD — According to National Weather Service measurements, the big winner from Wednesday's snowstorm is Riva with 7.5 inches of snow while the Fort Meade area received about 4 inches of snow. With the storm winding down, Anne Arundel County Public Schools have decided that buildings will open two hours late Thursday, March 22.

There will be no morning half-day pre-kindergarten or ECI classes, and no morning sessions at the Centers of Applied Technology North or South. Students in full-day pre-kindergarten classes will have class, and should report two hours later than normal.

School system crews will work through the night and monitor and evaluate road, walkway, and school lot conditions. Another message will be sent Thursday morning either confirming or changing this status.
