In the face of accumulating snow on north Cobb County roads, the school system decided to close schools Thursday in Cobb County. County officials found as much as 2 inches of snow in Acworth in the north part of the county, while roads in the south remained clear through the evening.

A release from the school system says: A winter storm warning is in effect. Weather forecasts predict snow, sleet and possibly dangerous conditions for travel tomorrow. Teachers and students should not report.

260 day employees should report as usual if their routes are safe.
