A number of school systems across the region have canceled classes on Wednesday because of an approaching winter storm.

National Weather Service forecasters on Wednesday afternoon estimated that up to 2 inches of snow could fall in parts of Middle Georgia. The greatest accumulations were expected roughly west and northwest of Macon, a locale that could see about an inch of snow itself.

Estimated times of arrival for frozen precipitation in the midstate ranged from about 1 a.m. until daybreak as the storm rolled in from the west-northwest.

Be sure to check your school or school system's latest information online. Some school and Emergency Management Agency representatives were meeting Tuesday night before making a final decision about Wednesday classes.
