CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Students are getting another break from classes across West Virginia as a late-winter storm pummels the state.
Public schools in all 55 counties were closed Thursday. At least 18 counties had sent students home early on Wednesday after heavy rains sent creeks onto roads.
Several higher education institutions also canceled classes, including West Virginia University, Marshall University, Fairmont State University and Bluefield State College.
But WVU went ahead with student elections. Voting was held Thursday as scheduled in the Mountainlair in Morgantown.
The state Supreme Court and more than a dozen county courts were closed due to heavy snow. The state Legislature was in session.
