Bridgewater-Raritan Schools Close Wednesday Due To Snow

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Due to the impending storm, all Bridgewater-Rartian Regional School District Schools will be closed on Wednesday.

The district has already used all of snow days that were built into the 2017-2018 school calendar. As a result of Wednesday's snow day, school will be open on Thursday, April 26.

The modified calendar reflects the snow days used as of March 8 and is posted to the district's website.

Raritan Valley College is also closed on Wednesday.

As many as 18 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, creating the potential for power outages across the state. The double-wave storm, the fourth possible nor'easter to hit New Jersey in three weeks, could be a "long-duration event" packing 45 mph winds. The bulk of the storm is expected to come in two waves, especially on Wednesday, and could extend the nor'easter to a 36-hour system.
