Schools were closed Tuesday throughout Oakland County, including Clarkston, despite warmer than usual, 45-degree weather.
‘The back roads were too slippery,? said Kevin Bickerstaff, director of transportation. ‘With the sub zero temperatures last week, the snow got packed in, and drove the frost into the roads.?
The melting ice Tuesday morning made bus transportation on hilly, unpaved roads too dangerous, Bickerstaff said.
‘Hopefully, with the warmer temperatures the ice will break up,? he said.
