Icy Roads Force 2-Hour Delayed Opening for Twp. Schools

Rain, snow, ice mixture begins to blanket the area.

Icy road conditions Tuesday morning have forced the Washington Township and West Morris Regional school districts to operate on a two-hour delayed opening schedule.

The rain and ice mixture coating roads overnight comes as no surprise after a nor’easter was projected for mid-week by the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to rise Tuesday as the precipitation becomes mainly rain, but could become heavy, wet snow Tuesday night into Wednesday.
