Nor'easter Closes Local Schools Thursday

Storm expected to bring a foot of snow to the area.

While the sun had yet to go down on Wednesday without a drop of precipitation to hit the roads, local schools decided to take a pre-emptive strike on the approaching nor'easter and shut their doors Thursday.

Washington Township Schools and the West Morris Regional High School district made the decision just before 5 p.m., as did many other area schools, with anywhere between six and 18 inches of snow, freezing rain and ice forecasted to blanket the area. 

The storm comes just a week after all local schools were forced into two closings and two delayed openings to start the month, as snow continues to accumulate in the area.
