Good call Santa Rosa. Escambia should close Wednesday as well because I’m sure it will be icy Wednesday morning when the bus drivers are having to navigate the dangerous roads.
They might as well close Wednesday too. It is suppose to freeze Tuesday. Wednesday morning will be worse than Tuesday if that happens.
