Lycoming/Montour/Northumberland County, Pa. â Due to COVID-19, schools are able to teach virtually while their students stay at home. With the upcoming winter storm, school districts were faced with a new question: Instead of a snow day, should students be taught virtually?
Three local school districts said snow way, but one said the snow would go on virtually.Â
In a letter to parents this morning, Shamokin Area School District announced tomorrow would be a true snow day and encouraged people to please go out and enjoy the snow with your family and childrenâdrink hot chocolate, go sleigh riding, and build a snowman!

For students in some of the local school districts, the weather forecast of what is predicted to be a huge amount of snow moving into the area over the next few days, will sadly not bring with it the reprieve from school, historically known as a “snow day.”
