Gwinnett Schools closed today

I just checked WSBtv.com, and Gwinnett County Schools are closed today. The Georgia Department of Transportation has asked that people at least try to wait until dawn to get out on the roads. It's nothing to take lightly - today a 27-vehicle wreck closed the ramp at I-285/85 northbound.

If you absolutely have to get out and about today, here are some good Twitter feeds for traffic information:

Do not use Twitter and drive at the same time!!! Most accidents happen "in the blink of an eye."
Please be careful and considerate of other drivers and yourself by not being distracted while you drive.

Will Gwinnett have school tomorrow?

Will Gwinnett County Schools have school tomorrow? That's what everybody is looking for right now (if the site stats are any indication!) I know my kids are doing a lot of wishing, hoping, and praying!

Gwinnett County Schools officially checks out the situation during the wee hours of the morning. Because Gwinnett is such a large county, several school administrators drive the roads in their areas of Gwinnett County and report back on conditions, then a decision is made.

So it's unlikely we will find out anything tonight, but first thing tomorrow (Friday) morning, check out the list of closings on WSBTV.com below:

Just for fun, all these searches on the topic led folks to this blog just within the last hour and a half. (It's interesting how many people are unable to spell 'Gwinnett" - It would be embarrassing for people to graduate from Gwinnett County Schools without being able to spell Gwinnett.)
