In southern Utah, Hurricane schools will start two hours late Friday morning due to snow.
The district also says it understands the rights of parents to make decisions that are best for their children. Students who are kept home will not be penalized for their absence.
Power outage
More than 2,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers in Hooper and West Haven were initially without power Friday morning. That number was down to 300 by 7:30 a.m.
