But with this being Martin Luther King Day, many schools are closed.

However, school officials are likely keeping a close eye on the weather forecast. An ice storm may be coming to Oregon and Southwest Washington as the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch that begins at 10 a.m. Tuesday.
