Forecasters expect freezing temperatures to continue today and tomorrow, and for any snow that manages to melt to re-freeze overnight, so local schools Thursday began announcing closures for Friday.
Battle Ground, Vancouver, Evergreen, Camas, Hockinson, Ridgefield, La Center, Woodland, Washougal and Green Mountain School District schools will be closed Friday.
The Battle Ground and Evergreen school districts said the closure includes all non-class activities and community education programs.
Students still enjoying their multi-day breaks will notice Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, is also a day off for public schools.
