While some some schools decided to go to remote learning, other districts declared Tuesday a snow day with an almost puckish enthusiasm. Enjoy your day off tomorrow! This is great binge-watching weather, Jacksonville school superintendent Steve Ptacek wrote in a social media post Monday. Tuesday will be a snow day (No School For Students). Williamsville sledding hills will be open, countered Williamsville-Sherman superintendent Tip Reedy.
With lingering snow, deteriorating travel conditions and single-digit temperatures, many districts made the decision early Monday to close or go to remote learning on Tuesday. Many school districts were off school Monday for Presidents Day.
Keep the warm gear handy. Frigid temperatures and snow are in the forecast through the weekend.
An additional inch to four inches of snow could fall by end of the week thanks to some quick-hitting clippers, said National Weather Service meteorologist Mike Albano.
The coldest temperatures of the season could arrive overnight Saturday into Sunday morning with predictions of around 5-below, Albano said. While it s plenty cold and a slap in the face to many to wake them up, we re not breaking records, said Albano, speaking from Lincoln.
The area will have multiple quick shots of snow, including into Monday night, adding perhaps another inch to the two inches on the ground already in the Springfield area, There also are daily chances of snow from Wednesday through Saturday morning.
