Clean-up is underway in the Southwestern Pennsylvania area, after Winter Storm Fern Dumped almost a foot of snow in many areas over the weekend. Now, with the snow still covering the ground, we are heading into a stretch of extreme cold weather. Many schools closed Monday but some did operate remotely and they are now keeping close watch on the bitter cold and sub-zero wind chills that move in. Washington County offices and courts were closed to the public with remote work in place, although essential operations including the County 9-1-1 center, the jail and the Sheriffs office remained open. Many communities have declared states of emergency, including the city of Washington, Charleroi and South Strabane Township. In addition, many businesses and organizations may also be closed on Tuesday due to the extreme cold and lingering road conditions. One of those that will be closed will be the Charleroi Borough building. Warming Centers are open around the county as well.
