The National Weather Service has put out a Winter Storm Warning for the St. John Valley beginning this evening, around 8 PM and lasting throughout the day on Wednesday. Although the snow accumulations alone are concerning (around 8 - 14 inches), it is the wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour that we must keep a watchful eye on.
SAD27 will keep a close watch on this storm as it develops and we will try to make a decision on school for tomorrow as soon as possible. Please check back on the blog throughout the day for any decisions made regarding school cancellations or delays, including athletic events for this evening.
