CCPS Updates Weather Decision For Tuesday Jan 9

CECIL COUNTY, MD — Schools in Cecil County will be closed for students on Tuesday, Jan. 9. Cecil County Public Schools officials made the announcement about the closure after a previous decision to delay opening.

"After further evaluation of road conditions, it has been determined that schools will be closed for students and 10-month staff," Cecil County Public Schools said in a statement. "Offices will open at 11 a.m."

The closure comes after freezing rain Monday afternoon and evening in the region prompted many schools, including those in Cecil County, to close early.

The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement Tuesday morning alerting those in northeast Maryland of potentially icy conditions.

"Hazardous conditions for walking and driving due to some icy roads and walkways will continue through the morning commute," the National Weather Service reported. "If you will be going out this morning, be prepared for slippery conditions. Use extra caution during the morning commute."

People are advised to drive more slowly than usual and to give themselves extra time.

Harford County Public Schools also made the decision to close on Tuesday, Jan. 9.
