More snow = more postponements

FROM THE MORNING CALL

At least the kids got to school this time.

The opening act of a one-two winter weather punch that was set to hit the Lehigh Valley Wednesday and Thursday arrived with a bit more wallop than anticipated Wednesday morning, forcing schools to send students home early throughout the region.

And, of course, once again wiping out the local sports card.

The marquee event was to be the annual wrestling showdown between Northampton and Easton at Shawnee Middle School. It has been postponed to Friday and the site has been changed to Easton Area High School, since there is a boys basketball game already scheduled at the middle school gym.

Here's a list so far of Wednesday's postponements as provided by area athletic directors, to be updated throughout the day:
