be saying, "it @was bad in some @spots, but rally?" @went to akron to get one @explanation, which probably @covers other districts @as well. @they told us they considered a @number of factors, @including the amount of snow @that's fallen, the @forecast, road conditions. @leaders said they would need @more time to -- 55 @schools in the district to keep @cars and buss for @getting stuck. @makes sense to me. @>> it's a big deal for the @school districts to @close. @i mean there's a lot of @students that depend on the @districts for lunch. @>> right. @>> you don't want them to go @it is a huge deal. @i'm happy -- @>> a big responsibility as @well. @. @ we all take a big breath @and enjoy the cloud @cover with lack of snow as far @as the evening goes. @we have a little snow that will @be falling early @tomorrow. @this is not expected to bring @us any slowdowns or be @a big problem for us. @warming weather is coming our @way for the weekend, @and in the next 7 days, there @are no major storms @coming, although there are a @few little systems we @are going to have to dodge. @yes the snow day was certainly @welcome by a lot of @people. @teachers are actually the most @enthusiastic about @snow days, believe it or not. @i would have never guessed that @as a kid; but let me @tell you, they are. @gave the kids a chance to got @out and do a little @crafting. @this is el la and olaf on my @facebook page. @scott price sent in this @picture from hazel price in @cleveland. @nice snowman there. @christine west r, in,g,r sent @this nice snowman in. @good arms going on. @from north canton. @a nice snowman coming to us @from rebecca is,ntrot. @i'll get it. @anna and toddler didn't build a @snowman, but they @did build snowy the snow @monster. @there were snow deer, snow @monsters, you name it. @we're going to put all of these @in a gallery. @if you have pictures of your @family out enjoying the @day, please tweet them to me at @betsy cling on @twitter, or you can also post @it on the wall of my @facebook page, wkyc weather. @i'd love to see them. @we'll include those as well. @the storm system that came @through is now out of @here, causing all kinds of @problems in mug. @we have this little bit of snow @to the west of us. @the frontal system that will be @moving through the @state of ohio. @not really expected to bring us @mass amounts of @snow. @it's pretty light p. little @baby down to the south @will miss us completely. @we don't have to worry about @that. @high side of things this @time of year, about 38 degrees. @we've already passed through @the coldest average @temperatures of the year. @we're on a warming trend. @this is good news, but it is @still rather chilly. @and we're going to get into a @little bit of a @going to hover in @the low 30s for the next couple @days before a @warmup comes. @we're sitting in the low 30s @still around. @as we head through the night @tonight, we are @anticipating temperatures to be @in the upper 20s, @cloudy, some areas of fog. @and the snow chances will stay @with us predawn. @about those snow chances, we'll @start to see those @moving in. @you can see definitely out to @the east, as those @temperatures are going to be in @the mid-s to. @a lot of cloud cover around @tomorrow, but a random @flurry or 2 can't be ruled out @in the morning. @and then as we go through the @afternoon, we could @see some snow showers @developing. @this is some lake enhancement @off of lake erie. @but we are not anticipating any @accumulation out of @this. @as a matter of fact, i think @you'd be hard-pressed @to find an inch, and i think @two would definitely be @on the outside. @temperatures are only going to @tomorrow. @a lot of cloud cover around. @these are the days a lot of @people consider their @seasonal affective disorder to @kick into high gear, @so -- take that. @jump up on your vitamin c, get @some light going in @the house, whatever you need. @hug somebody. @that always helps me. @the 7-day forecast shows that @nice warmup coming. @we will be in the 40s this @weekend with a chance @to get outside and get some @fresh air. @>> a little bit of sun on @saturday, too. @>> fingers crossed. @>> okay. @>> dr. becky, thank you. @ coming up, another day, @another rumor involving @cavs as we near that trade @deadline. @>> jimmy has the latest name @ @ the orlando magic are @shopping forward channing @fry. @he's 6, 11, averaging 5 points, @3 rebounds per game, @and it is said, the reports @interested in trading for him. @mozgov could be a name. @no matter what the deal is, and @there have been a @lot of rumors, mozgov always @seems to be the guy who @is packing and heading out of @town. @ now to the nfl draft, @that's coming up on @april 28th through the 30th, @and interesting @story, the browns have the @number-two pick in the @draft. @the tennessee titans have the @number-one pick in the @draft. @but the titans are revealing @today through their new @general manager john robinson @they are fielding all @kinds of telephone calls from @teams trying to get up @above the browns, get to the @number-one spot in the @draft, ahead of cleveland so @they can get the first @pick of a quarterback in the @draft. @and a lot of people think it is @jared goff, the @quarterback out of -- and that @the browns are @interested in him, and the @browns certainly need a @quarterback. @many, many teams again calling @the titans and @saying, "we would give up a lot @to get the number @one." @so we get the clear pick to get @the quarterback @rather than allowing cleveland @two. @and that mights a be a tactic @if the browns would @put something in a deal to go @up to number one, @which i would not do. @but, you know, they don't @always follow me. @ any way, the nfl combine is @next week in @indianapolis, and ohio state @has 14 athletes that @are going to be there. @this is one of them a great @linebacker, darren lee. @he's been working out, as most @of them do, with @special trainers. @he's out in phoenix. @he was the defensive mvp of the @sugar bowl in al in @2015. @he could be a late 1st round @pick. @here's what he thinks. @>> personally, i don't care. @knob knows for sure -- guess @what. @>> that's a good way to take a @look at it. @ tonight the sips in @basketball, taking on the @the zips and their -- their 7- @game winning streak @come to an end over at northern @illinois. @>> akron beat buffalo earlier @at buffalo 75-71. @they want to remain at the top @spot in their side of @the bracket in the mac. @>> well it's big week. @i mean, it's a big week. @we try to take pressure off our @guys. @''hey, just play basketball. @realize it's a game. @play the best you can play." @kent is two games behind. @if we don't take care of @business, we're in another @dogfight. @ another big game tonight, @ohio state taking on @michigan. @and the numbers tell you, the @buckeyes must keep on @winning just to make the @tournament. @>>
