Westfield Schools Reopen Monday, But What About The Snow?

WESTFIELD, NJ — The Westfield School District — which announced two weeks ago that it would go remote for 14 days following Thanksgiving weekend — will reopen for hybrid on-site learning on Monday as planned, the district announced this weekend.

However, the students may have another challenge to contend with starting Wednesday afternoon into the night — Snow Days, or whatever the modern version turns out to be.

Some North Jersey districts announced their plans for inclement weather over the weekend. While some will try to go remote if the weather is bad, others nearby, like Millburn, will start by giving the traditional days off.

Forecasters are now calling for a mix of rain and snow on Westfield on Monday and a snowstorm on Wednesday afternoon and through the night. They announced a winter storm watch for 12 of the state's 21 counties.

What about Westfield specifically?

Accweather predicts an initial 2-4 inches Wednesday afternoon with a total accumulation of 6 to 10 inches into the night (scroll down on the page for the total) and "near blizzard conditions."
