The wintry weather expected to hit the Augusta area on Sunday has practically turned into a non-event. Forecasters had issued a winter storm warning for the area, expecting snow and icy conditions, but that didn't happen after dry air moved into the storm system. Students in the area get a break, though, since some area school systems, such as Columbia County, had already cancelled classes for today. The Richmond County school system in Augusta, meanwhile, will start classes one hour late. Augusta State University will begin classes at 10 a.m., and Paine College will start two hours late.
