BEACHWOOD, OH — The Beachwood Schools will be closed Thursday due to the threat of a winter storm. The school district announced the closure on Wednesday afternoon, citing the "certainty of forecasts." All afterschool activities in Beachwood are also canceled for Thursday. Beachwood and Cuyahoga County are under a winter storm warning. Between 8 and 12 inches of snow is expected to fall between Wednesday night and Friday morning, according to the National Weather Service. A layer of ice is expected to form beneath the snow and winds could hit 30 mph on Thursday, making travel extremely dangerous, forecasts warned. "Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Travel could be nearly impossible. Patchy blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute," the National Weather Service said.
