The week ahead will be off to an unusual start due to the heavy snowfall that Lynchburg is experiencing. All school systems in the area have reported that they will be closed tomorrow.
An unplanned free day for all of the kids can mean panic for Mom and Dad when they have to work.
Some local parents have the day off work tomorrow for Presidents Day. Others may have to scramble to find a home for the kids for the day.
