Ice on roads leads to three snow days

Kelly Stewart Staff Writer For the past few days, winter weather has swept through the United States, including Texas. For CHS students and staff, it means a rare, three day break from school, as ice still claims the roads. But the winter weather has also brought many other problems with it.
