Got to work late today? Summer vacation is over for you ... and the kids

Notice more traffic on the roads today?

Did you forget about the school traffic zones that made your commute crawl for a couple of hundred yards?

And you can expect traffic to stay relatively thick - even as summer tourist traffic dwindles - because Beaufort County Public Schools started the school year today.

Don’t get the Sunday blues as your weekend ends.

The solar eclipse this Monday should be your ray of sunshine.

The district has decided to give the students the day off so they can see the once in a lifetime event.

Which should mean ... smooth driving.
