Columbia Public Schools will start two hours late Friday morning to allow buses to navigate routes in daylight.
That means buses will pick up students two hour later than the usual pick-up time, said Michelle Baumstark, spokeswoman for the school district.
The National Weather Service is predicting freezing drizzle likely before 10 p.m. today, then a slight chance of snow between 10 p.m. and midnight.
As of 5 p.m. Thursday, 0.2 inches of snow had fallen in Columbia with little ice accumulation. A 60% chance of a wintry mix overnight was expected to drop less than a half-inch of new snow on the city.
The winter storm that arrived Wednesday canceled classes Thursday in Columbia public schools, as well as in Hallsville and Harrisburg. It was the third time this month that a wintry mix of ice, sleet and snow closed the schools.
This week, freezing drizzle came in overnight Wednesday, glazing windows and leading to some icy patches on sidewalks and roads. According to the KOMU 8 weather team, this drizzle will turn into sleet and snow throughout the morning.
