No School for Monday?

We have an interesting development to report on that could impact the length of the school day on Monday. Unfortunately, it is not weather-related.

Due to a delay in rapid tests getting to teachers in some parts of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Teachers Association is calling for the cancellation of classes on Monday to allow more time for Covid testing. Some schools in eastern Mass have already issued delays and cancellations for Monday. Newburyport, Lexington, and Watertown have either cancelled school or shortened the school day.

So, this weekend students and parents should be on the lookout for communication from their schools with any updates about a change to the schedule for Monday. Even though it's not really in our lane, we will post any news about delays and cancellations for our area if those come about.

As for a weather report, 2022 is going to get off to a miserable start. Rain will fall throughout the day on Saturday and continue into Sunday. We might see a brief changeover to snow on the back end the storm Sunday afternoon but any accumulation would be very light.

This, friends, is a nor'easter and is what the Euro model is showing for Thursday night.

We are scoping a potential storm for the Thursday/Friday time slot. It's still way too early to get excited about it, but if it develops, it could be a moderate storm that likely would cause delays and/or snow days for Friday.

There's an outside shot at a three-day week for some students.
