School districts across the New Orleans metro area canceled school again Thursday, the third day of cancellations due to the severe winter storm, raising the possibility of make-up school days later this year.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - As the sun rises over New Orleans on Wednesday morning, the Crescent City is slowly thawing after a rare and historic winter storm. Residents and visitors are digging out from record-breaking snow, which blanketed rooftops, cars, and the city’s iconic oak trees, leaving picturesque scenes throughout the area.

Many roadways were impassable, classes were canceled in local schools and many businesses could not open as a winter storm essentially brought New Orleans to a standstill.
