White Lake, Highland Students Get Another Day Off Because of Bitter Cold

Huron Valley Schools will be closed Tuesday due to the bitterly cold wind chill temperatures forecast for southeast Michigan.

The Apollo Early Childhood Center is also closed Tuesday, and all athletic events and evening activities are cancelled for Tuesday, the district said on its web site. The Pools and Fitness Facilities will open at 3 p.m.

The Arctic cold temperatures are expected to persist through Wednesday morning. There’s no word yet on whether school will be in session Wednesday.

Oakland County issued a statement Monday reminding residents to dress in layers if they must be outdoors, not to keep their pets outdoors for any extended periods of time, maintain vehicle gas tanks over half filled, keep emergency kits and blankets in vehicles, and ensure that cell phones are fully charged when traveling.
