Working on a sidewalk this morning on O Avenue is Jim Holloway, who clears snow for several property management companies in La Grande. Forecasters predict as much as 4 more inches of snow could fall today in La Grande. Snow is expected to give way to rain Tuesday amid a high temperature of 39. The Observer/PHIL BULLOCK
A blizzard-like storm that moved into the Northeast Oregon over the weekend forced closure of all schools and many roads in Union County today.

As the snow continued to blow and drift early this morning, the Elgin, Imbler, Union, Cove and North Powder school districts all called off classes. The La Grande School District had planned to delay opening for two hours, but later decided to shut down altogether. EOU planned to open at 11 a.m., but later in the morning decided to keep the campus closed.

Blowing, drifting snow and icy conditions were prevalent along the region’s roads and highways, with at least two local closures in effect this morning.
