Henderson County schools are closed Monday while county offices will have a delayed opening at 10 a.m. On Monday morning, Blue Ridge Community College announced that it had canceled Monday's night classes.

In addition the Henderson County School Board's regular meeting on Monday has been postponed to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

With a low overnight expected to drop to 9 degrees and a high on Monday of only 30, little improvement is expected on secondary roads that have not yet been plowed. NCDOT and Highway Patrol officials warned of black ice on roads that have been cleared.

After a low Monday night of 19, temperatures are expected to inch above freezing, to 39, for the first time since Friday. Wednesday we should see a high near 51 and a 50 percent chance of rain after 3 p.m. The warmup will continue as the week goes on, with highs of 58 on Thursday and 60 on Friday.
