Marietta schools shake off snow, return to service

Marietta has shaken loose of wintry weather’s grip, and schools there will re-open Tuesday on the normal schedule.

The city school district in Cobb County closed early Friday as a snowstorm threatened the area, and did not open Monday after it left roads slick and parts of the county without power.

Other districts to the south, such as Decatur and DeKalb County, saw less of a storm effect and opened as usual Monday.
