East Brunswick Schools Closed Friday Due To Impending Snowstorm

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - The East Brunswick School District will be closed on Friday, due to the impending winter storm that is expected to hit NJ.

Up to 6 inches of snow alongside treacherous driving conditions is expected for Friday, according to the weather forecast.

"It is evident that Mother Nature is taking control tomorrow with snow accumulating throughout the day. So, I am making the call now. East Brunswick Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday," Superintendent Victor Valeski said in a message to the community.

The winter storm warning has been issued in six New Jersey counties from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

"This will be a colder storm than most have grown accustomed to in much of the Midwest and the Northeast in that the lower ground and air temperatures combined with the fluffy or grainy nature of the snow will quickly accumulate on streets and highways," AccuWeather meteorologists said.

A winter weather advisory is in place for East Brunswick with the National Weather Service predicting total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches in the township.

A hazardous weather outlook is also in place as snow and/or sleet accumulation may result in significant travel disruptions on Friday, the NSW said.
