NJ School Closings and Delayed Openings Due to Snow — Monday, January 20th

Sunday’s snow will not affect most schools on Monday, as they are already closed for Martin Luther Day, but child care centers, private schools and businesses may delay their opening.

Road crews may need a little more time to clear out parking lots to be ready for Monday morning.

The snow began as rain and sleet in many areas Sunday afternoon, which held down accumulations, according to NJ 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow. But all areas eventually turned to snow before finishing.

Dangerously cold

Behind the snow is the coldest weather New Jersey has seen in two years.

“Temperatures will likely remain below freezing across the country from Sunday night through at least Friday afternoon. Over 100 hours in the freezer,” Zarrow said of the dangerous cold.

Zarrow said not only will winds drop below zero, but infrastructure could be affected with power outages and possible water main breaks.
