Description

BOSTON — An upcoming storm set to hit the Boston area has Boston Public Schools preemptively canceling Friday's classes on Thursday. The winter storm is expected to blast most of the state with 6-8 inches of snow during its first storm of the season, hitting especially hard during the morning commute. On Thursday, Boston Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius tweeted that Friday would be a snow day. Snow Day Tomorrow!— Brenda Cassellius (@BCassellius) January 6, 2022 Snow is expected to start falling early Friday morning — between 3-5 a.m. depending on where you are in the state — and intensify through the morning. Forecasters are expecting a rate of 1 inch per hour from around 6-9 a.m. More coverage: MA Snow: Totals Increase, Winter Storm Warning Upgraded This upcoming storm, coupled with school staffing shortages across the state during the latest COVID-19 surge, could mean a mess of trying to get students to class in the first place, so students and parents outside the Boston area will be keeping a close eye on additional school cancelations. WEATHER UPDATE: Due to the forecast of snow tomorrow, all @BostonSchools buildings will be closed on Friday, January 7 to keep everyone safe.
