As central Ohioans break out their shovels in the wake of a departing winter storm, some area school districts are instructing students and teachers to stay home for one more day.
According to the NWS snowfall map, the winter storm that moved across the country Sunday into Monday dumped as much as 9 inches in parts of central Ohio (that total came in Pickaway County), with many areas recording at least 4 inches as of early afternoon Monday.
Most area school districts were closed Monday, the first day back after winter break for many.
