Last night's ice storm left behind slick road conditions causing two local school buses to be stranded along the roadside earlier this morning.

According to Shea Coldiron, the county’s bus coordinator, the buses slid off of the roads while they were driving their routes, but were not involved in any collisions or major accidents. Also, no one was injured because of the accidents.

Coldiron said the school system’s bus garage sent a wrecker to get the buses back on the road as soon as possible.

Coldiron also said even though several students were late getting to school this morning, it was fortunate the accidents were not worse, and he was happy no one was injured.

This makes me very nervous about our upcoming move to Ashe County. Will make the "no school" call on my own judgement!

Maybe if the DOT would do a better job of taking care of the roads or the school system called off school, things like this would not happen.

I agree with you. The Dot needs to do a better job AND school should have been called off like Watauga & Avery.
