The Cold Slows Area Schools

The bitter weather has affected area schools again. Most classes began two hours late Friday morning. However, there were two closings. Pequot Lakes schools closed for the day due to the cold and electrical problems which resulted in the inability to produce heat. The cold and schedule combined close the Pine River Backus schools. Schools running two hours late were: Brainerd, Crosslake Community, LaPorte, Little Falls, Nevis, Northland-Remer, Park Rapids, Pequot Lakes, Pillager, Staples and Walker-Hackensack-Akeley.
K-Lakes Meteorologist Tony Schumacher says the the bitter weather will moderate through early next week. Another cold snap is expected by next Thursday, but should not last long.
