Cincinnati Schools Adjust Schedules Due to Overnight Snowfall

CINCINNATI, Ohio — Several school districts in Greater Cincinnati have announced closures or delayed openings due to overnight snowfall affecting the region on February 20, 2025. The inclement weather prompted adjustments in schedules as authorities anticipate slippery road conditions during the morning commute.

Many students will stay home or shift to Non-Traditional Instruction days as districts respond to the winter weather. The snowfall accumulated to around an inch in various areas, resulting in mixed road conditions that are expected to impact travel this Thursday morning.

The National Weather Service reported that while the snowfall appears to have ended, lingering flurries will contribute to existing challenges on local roads. Some surfaces remain covered in snow, while others are just wet, creating potential hazards for drivers.

This morning, as temperatures hovered around 14 degrees and wind chill made it feel like two degrees, road conditions varied across the area. Schools that made schedule changes include those that opted for a two-hour delay or switched to remote learning. Specific details on closures are available through local announcements.

A weather advisory indicated that conditions were still unsafe for travel, warning of slick spots and requiring caution from drivers. It is expected that the region will warm up significantly next week, with temperatures set to reach around 50 degrees on some days, although the weekend may see highs only in the mid-40s.

As officials continue to monitor weather conditions, authorities urge residents to remain informed about potential changes and travel advisories. School districts plan to update information as necessary, especially if additional closures are required due to continued weather impacts.
