West Virginia schools are preparing for significant weather changes as snow is forecasted across the region. As a result, several counties have announced school closures and delays. On Wednesday, numerous West Virginia counties, including Barbour, Lewis, Upshur, and Preston, are implementing a two-hour delay for schools amid expectations of snowfall. According to the latest updates, Barbour County Schools will start two hours later than usual, primarily to ensure the safety of students while road conditions remain uncertain. Lewis County has announced a similar protocol with a two-hour delay, emphasizing that they are monitoring the weather closely. Additionally, Preston County schools are slated for a two-hour delay, maintaining communication with local weather services.
