After one of the longest and coldest nights of the winter, the Forsyth County School System decided to close schools for Tuesday due to predicted black ice that would be hazardous for transportation to schools in the morning. While most would consider power outages, trees blocking the road and deathly black ice a horrible combination, students across the county gathered in houses with lanterns building forts, playing games and spending their time without technology. Surprisingly, they even enjoyed this time and welcomed more.
