Churches are having a snow day
This is quite foriegn to me. Where I grew up, church would only be closed if hell literally froze over.... it is was much, much colder there.
Of course most people were in close walking distance to their church and there was little threat of car accidents. We drive 10 miles to our church, so I understand the cautions.
There are a few churches however that have delayed church hours or that multiple services who have only cancelled morning worship.

It's snowing, Are schools open tomorrow?
Following are GCPS procedures for inclement weather and how the school system handles school cancellations.
GCPS schools and facilities may close in the event of hazardous weather or other emergencies which present threats to the safety of students, staff, or school property.
The superintendent makes the decision about school closing based on a cross-divisional and cross-agency effort, with information from public safety officials, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Gwinnett County officials, and the state Department of Transportation. In addition, when inclement weather is an issue, members of the GCPS Facilities and Operations team head out as early as 3:30 or 4 a.m. to drive roads around the county and assess road conditions. The school system’s Transportation staff ensures that buses are operable. (Extreme cold can cause operational problems for diesel buses.) Facilities are checked in the early hours, and GCPS works with power providers, as needed. Local school principals gather information for the leadership team about specific school conditions.
It is more likely for school to be cancelled in the early morning— due to dangerous road conditions that formed overnight— than for school to let out early because bad weather is moving in.
