Wintry Weather Blast Cancels All Danvers After School Activities

DANVERS, MA — A swath of wintry weather forecast for Monday afternoon caused the cancellation of all afternoon and evening after-school sports, meetings and extracurricular activities at Danvers Public Schools.

Danvers Public Schools were dismissed at their regularly scheduled times, while Essex North Shore had an early dismissal at 12:30 p.m.

The potentially most severe snowstorm of the 2022-23 winter was forecast to be seen across the state by Monday afternoon, as rain turns to sleet and then all snow that could be heavy at times.

"Moderate to heavy snow at times this afternoon, impacting the late day commute, with snow-covered roads," the National Weather Service predicted early Monday.

There's also a coastal flood advisory for shoreline areas in Essex County, Boston and down through Cape Cod.
