Washington Heights, Inwood School Closings For March 14 Blizzard

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS-INWOOD, NY — Some schools in New York City may close when a major blizzard is expected to dump up to two feet of snow on New York City on Monday night and into Tuesday, a storm forecasters expect will be the worst of the year.

Patch will be keeping an eye on closings in Washington Heights and Inwood and will be updating this post throughout the day and night with the latest information.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Department of Education announced that public schools will be closed on Tuesday.

Public schools were also closed when Winter Storm Niko hit the city in February, prompting de Blasio to go on the defense and claim that New York City has not become "a city of wimps."

Here's which Washington Heights and Inwood schools have announced closings so far, according to the schools and local media reports:

• All Washington Heights public schools
• All Inwood public schools
• Boricua College
• Saint Elizabeth School
• Success Academy Charter Schools (all locations)
