Lubbock and much of the South Plains are under a winter weather advisory through 6 a.m. Friday, with additional snow accumulations of an inch or less and winds gusting as high as 40 mph expected, according to the National Weather Service in Lubbock.

The Washington, D.C. region is still grappling with the effects of Monday's winter storm, which dumped nearly a foot of snow in some areas. The storm brought snow and ice, forcing schools to close and creating hazardous driving conditions.

Some schools in the DMV are closing their doors for the fourth day in a row, allowing students to keep sledding down the hills after a snowstorm hit the area Monday. These schools have announced closures for Thursday.
