WV School Closings Today: Real-Time List of Affected Counties, Delays & Bus Route Updates

An overnight clipper system is coating the Mountain State with fresh snow, prompting a wave of WV school closings and delays for Monday, December 8, 2025. Latest countywide delays • 2-hour delay: Mercer, Tazewell (VA), Nicholas, Raleigh. • 3-hour delay: Fayette, McDowell, Summers, Wyoming, Greenbrier, Pocahontas, Monroe. Status on the WVDE statewide portal shows every southern county reporting “All” under the Delays column as of 5:53 a.m., with no full-day closures so far. Why the slow start? Forecasters say a fast-moving snow band will drop 1–3″ through mid-morning, keeping secondary roads slick while temperatures hover near freezing. What parents need to know • Check your county’s alert system before leaving—the list can change by the minute. • Expect bus routes on “snow plan” and possible run-time changes. • Allow extra braking distance; untreated hollows and mountain passes may glaze over again after sunrise. • If your district switches from a delay to a closure, instructional packets or virtual learning will kick in under county NTID (non-traditional instruction day) policies. Looking ahead A brief lull arrives this afternoon, but another arctic pulse is forecast mid-week, so additional WV school closings are possible.
