Freezing Rain Causes Two-Hour Delay for Students

Peters Township School District is operating on a two-hour delay, with a modified kindergarten schedule, for Tuesday, Jan. 18. Lee Hendricks, of the National Weather Service Pittsburgh, says there is a 70 percent chance more freezing rain is to arrive this afternoon. 

"The freezing rain did come, however I noticed road crews were out and roads were just fine," said Hendricks. "It's mostly parking lots and secondary roads."

They say to expect a cloudy day with temperatures in the lower 40s. Rain is to continue into the evening, with a 90 percent chance that we will see snow by morning -- up to an inch of accumulation. Temperatures Wednesday morning will be in the upper 20s.

Drive safely on your morning commute.
