OKALOOSA SCHOOLS, Fla. – It seems not even the Sunshine State is safe when it comes to the cold winter weather hitting the U.S.
At least one Florida school district announced Monday its schools would be closed on Tuesday due to “icy road conditions.” “According to Public Safety Director Patrick Maddox, transportation will be significantly impacted tomorrow due to sub-freezing temperatures and the presence of ice on our roadways making school bus travel unsafe,” district officials wrote to parents of Okaloosa County, located in northwest Florida. “As a result, Okaloosa Schools, along with the surrounding districts in Northwest Florida, will be closed tomorrow.” [TRENDING: 1 dead in Rolls Royce crash | Mom, boyfriend arrested after toddler
