In this week’s Madras High School student White Buffalo NEWSLETTER it says that Cross Country will begin meeting for practices after school today and then on  M-W-F from 3:30-5:00pm. Please make sure you are registered for the sport through the Madras HS Athletic web page and have a current physical on file. The season officially starts  February 22nd.

Forecasters say there’s a chance of snow later this week.  The arctic air that’s dumping snow on the east coast could push over the top of the Rocky Mountains and make its way here.    A cold front could arrive Wednesday night and the possibility of snow is in the forecast through the weekend with plunging temperatures.   Thursday’s high is expected around 30° and Friday it will only warm up to 20°.   People should consider prepping an emergency kit if they plan to travel, maybe get some extra food and supplies in at home and be prepared for the colder temperatures.
