Winter Activities and School Closings [1]

School Closings [2]
Lots of snowfall in the wintertime means the possibility of school closings. It’s a good idea to bookmark this link to area school and business closings due to inclement weather. Even better: set up personalized text or email alerts for a specific school or business.

Bundle up and get some exercise this season with the Metroparks and their weekend Winter Hikes this January and February.
