EUGENE, Ore. - School districts didn't have to cancel class on Monday after the first weekday snowfall of 2012: Schools were already closed Monday in observation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

With a series of storms forecast to march across the region before the weather warms up, more snow is likely overnight Tuesday. See also: wishes for snow.

Most school districts and colleges share school delay and closure information via the FlashAlert system. Most try to get closures posted by 6:30 a.m.
