BEND, OR -- The city of Bend says winter crews have been out clearing roads during this storm that dropped several inches on Central Oregon. They sprayed magnesium chloride before the snow hit, then began plowing at 5 a.m. Sunday. Night crews were out again starting at 8 p.m., including contractors who focused on priority three residential streets while city trucks worked priority one and two roads. Bend-La Pine Schools tweeted a thank you to road crews Monday morning, when the district announced schools would open "as usual." 

Redmond Schools and Jefferson County 509J both announced Sunday night that schools would close Monday. Crook County Schools started with a two-hour delay, but by 7:30 a.m. Monday, officials announced it would also fully close. Monday night's Crook County School Board meeting will also be held virtually. It starts at 6:30 p.m. and can be viewed at this link. Culver Schools are closed, as well. And Central Oregon Community College canceled classes and activities at all campuses. 

Pacific Power reported outages in Bend, Madras and Redmond due to the severe weather. Just after 6:30 a.m. Monday, Central Electric Cooperative tweeted, "line crews have restored power to over 3,200 members with just under 400 to go. Crews continue to work through rough conditions to restore power to all CEC members in NW Redmond, Madras, and Terrebonne."
