2-Hour Delay Announced For Stamford Public Schools On Monday

STAMFORD, CT — Stamford Public Schools will operate under a two-hour delay Monday Dec. 15, due to potentially slippery roadway conditions.

Stamford reportedly received 5 inches of snow late Saturday into Sunday.

On Sunday night, the National Weather Service issued a special weather statement due to black ice concerns.

"Travelers are advised to use caution for areas of black ice through the Monday morning commute. Temps will drop well down into the teens tonight, with any moisture or slush on untreated surfaces quickly refreezing after sundown. Gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph may bring down additional snow laden tree branches through the overnight, with isolated power outages possible.

"In addition, wind chills will fall to around zero for the NYC/NJ metro and coast, and as low as 8 below zero across the interior tonight into Monday morning. At these temperatures, frostbite can occur in as little as a half hour on unprotected skin."
