New Jersey School Closings/Delayed Opening Lists

NEW JERSEY – Could the snow cause schools to dismiss students early or close them altogether on Monday and Tuesday?

Gov. Phil Murphy has declared a state of emergency now that a nor'easter could produce up to 24 inches of snow beginning on Sunday, and could impact the Garden State well into Tuesday. He's also closed several COVID vaccination sites and imposed highway restrictions.

Parts of New Jersey are expected to experience heavy snow, coastal flooding, and blizzard-like conditions, state officials say. To prepare for the winter storm, the New Jersey State Police has activated the State Emergency Operations Center in order to monitor the storm.

New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti issued a commercial vehicle travel restriction on multiple Interstate highways in New Jersey starting at 12 noon on Sunday based on the forecast for heavy snow and strong winds (see details below).

"The New Jersey Department of Transportation is coordinating with our regional and local transportation partners and the New Jersey State Police to ensure the most effective response to this storm," said Gutierrez-Scaccetti. "We are grateful for the public's assistance by staying at home and allowing transportation agencies to safely and efficiently clear roadways of snow and ice."

In anticipation of the snowstorm, the New Jerrsey Board of Public Utilities has been in communication with the utilities and "they are prepared for the weather emergency," said New Jersey Board of Public Utilities President Joseph L. Fiordaliso.

"We expect outages as a result of the storm and advise residents to charge their phones in advance, make necessary preparations and report any outages to their utility. As always, do not touch or go near any downed wires. We know that any outage is an inconvenience and we will be working with the utilities to ensure they restore all outages as safely and as quickly as possible."
