Wyckoff and Franklin Lakes Public Schools will follow a “minimum day schedule” Monday after the Townships have been put under a Blizzard Watch.

The Blizzard Watch is in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening, as the National Weather Service says a “potentially historic winter storm [is scheduled] to impact the area from late Monday into Tuesday.”

Wyckoff Superintendent Richard Kudar states middle school students will be dismissed at 12:46 p.m. and all elementary schools will be dismissed at 1:05 p.m. Morning Pre-K will meet at the regular time and afternoon PreK is canceled. All after school activities and recreation activities for Monday evening are also canceled.

Franklin Avenue Middle School students will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m., while Franklin Lakes Elementary students will be dismissed at 1 p.m.

According to the alert, the state should expect “heavy snow and blowing snow with blizzard conditions likely” and 1 to 2 feet of snow accumulations.

The “heaviest snow and strongest winds will occur overnight Monday into Tuesday,” causing “extremely dangerous travel.”

The alert also warns of “whiteout conditions,” impassable secondary and tertiary roads, and strong winds that can potentially bring down power lines and tree limbs.
