(KAIR)--All non-essential Atchison County offices are closed now until Tuesday.
The decision to close early, leaving the doors locked Thursday, came due to the extreme windchill and snowfall.
According to a release from Atchison County Emergency Preparedness Director Wes Lanter, the closure follows discussion with the Atchison County Commission Chair, with the decision made to leave only essential offices operating. Those include dispatch, law enforcement, EMS, Atchison County Senior Village, and the County- Road and Bridge Department.
According to Lanter, the non-essential offices will resume normal business hours Tuesday, following the winter and holiday break.
