Wilmington Snowstorm: Schools Closed, Winter Storm Warning Issued

WILMINGTON, MA — Wilmington Public Schools will be closed Friday in response to the predicted snowstorm.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning that will be in effect 1 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday in Wilmington. The service forecasts 5 to 10 inches of snowfall in Wilmington from 3 a.m. to noon Friday, as part of the year's first snowstorm in the area.

Because the state is not counting any remote learning days toward the required 180-day in-person learning requirement this year, snow days will be traditional snow days, unlike the hybrid or remote days some districts had last year.

The state is also closing all "Stop the Spread" coronavirus testing sites on Friday.

Local restrictions

This story will be updated throughout the day Thursday and Friday with the latest measures.

Schools closed

Wilmington Public Schools will be closed Friday due to the storm. All schools, programs and offices are closed.

Trash and recycling

Wilmington has postponed Friday trash and recycling pickup in response to the predicted snowstorm, the town said Thursday.

In response, curbside trash and recycling pickup will be delayed to Saturday, the town said.
Christmas trees will not be collected on Saturday, however; pickup will resume Monday.

Anyone with questions should contact the Department of Public Works at 978-658-4481.
