While many area roadways are clear this morning, there’s still the chance for icing on secondary roads and especially in higher elevations.  Officials advise motorists to take caution in their Thursday commute due to the possibility of black ice.

Officials with Marion County Schools decided to close for Thursday due the uncertainty of the winter weather system.  Other schools like Marion County who have a good portion of their student body living on mountaineous areas have followed suit.

Here’s the complete list of closing and delays for the tri-state area that we have at this time:

Cumberland Co Schools - 2 Hour Delay
Grundy County Schools - Closed
Monteagle Elementary - 2 Hour Delay; limited bus service

Grundy County Schools initially made the decision to go on with a 2-Hour delay, only later this morning deciding to close and cancel classes altogether for today.

Given the uncertainty of the weather system that’s moving into the area, officials with both school systems decided this was the best option to ensure the safety of students and faculty, and to avoid burning through any additional snow days.

One school system that has used many snow days already this school year is Cumberland County, just to our North on the plateau.  Cumberland County Schools have elected to close today due to the possibility of snow and road conditions in their county.

Currently the system that has been dumping rain on most of Tennessee for the past 24 hours is still just rain.  Some areas over the Cumberland Plateau, just to the Southeast of Nashville, have reported some freezing rain/sleet and snow flurries, but accumulations are very light at this time.

National Weather Service radar indicates some of the precipitation in that area is falling in a frozen form, however it’s in very scattered or trace amounts at this time.

MarionCountyMessenger.com will continue to monitor the weather situation and let you know any additional closing, cancellations, or delays that come into our newsroom.

Here’s the complete list of closings, cancellations, and delays we have for the tri-state area at this time:

Cumberland Co Schools – Closed
DeKalb County, AL Offices – 2 Hour Delay
Grundy County Schools – Closed
Marion Co Schools – Monteage Elementary ONLY — 2 Hour Delay
Scottsboro City Schools – 2 1/2 hour delay
St. Andrews-Sewanee School – 2 Hour Delay

While residents in the valley woke up to see nothing more than wet streets, school officials say the mountain areas that the school system serves have some areas that were hit hard by the snow, including Monteagle Mountain.

Another concern for school officials is the danger of black ice, that was found to be present on many roadways in and around the valley early Friday morning.

Here’s a complete list of school closings and delays from around the area for Friday:

Bledsoe County Schools – Closed
Cherokee Co Schools – Two Hour Delay
Cumberland Co Schools – Closed
Dade County Schools – Closed, Teachers Report
Exceptional Enterprises, Inc – One Hour Delay
Fannin County Schools – Two Hour Delay

Scottsboro City Schools – Two Hour Delay
Sequatchie County Schools – Closed
St. Andrews-Sewanee School – Two Hour Delay
Walker County Schools – Closed, Teachers Report

While meteorologists aren’t calling for anything other than flurries and possibly a light dusting of snow this time, officials with the Marion County Schools don’t plan on taking any chances.

Marion County school officials have decided to place schools on a two hour delay for Friday, January 21st.

Here’s the complete list of closings and delays that we have at this time:
