Schools in Anne Arundel Modify Schedule on Thursday

All schools in Anne Arundel County will open two hours late on Thursday, Jan. 21, due to inclement weather, according to Anne Arundel County Public Schools.

• To accommodate secondary school semester exams, all schools will dismiss at their normal time – not two hours early.
• There will be no half-day pre-kindergarten or ECI classes.
• Students in full-day pre-kindergarten classes will have class and should report two hours later than normal.

Roads may be icy Thursday morning due to below-freezing temperatures and light snowfall Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Annapolis received 0.3 inch of snow Wednesday night, based on unofficial reports submitted to the weather service.

Drivers are advised to take it slow on ice and snow, being especially careful on bridges, overpasses and shady areas where ice may have developed as well as in parking lots and on untreated roads. Increasing following distance on the road is a good idea, transportation officials say.
