Wave of school delays, closures for icy conditions Wednesday

Many kids in the D.C. area got a snow day Tuesday and will have delays Wednesday morning after melted snow refroze, creating the risk of icy roads.

The 3 to 5 inches of snow began to melt in the area Tuesday, but overnight temperatures fell into the low-10s and remain bitterly cold, Storm Team4 said. Remember, if it looks wet assume that it's ice and be careful when using sidewalks, steps and neighborhood streets.
