Icy Conditions Prompt Delayed Opening Wednesday For Bensalem Schools

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Frigid temperatures that are expected to create icy conditions well into the morning commute have prompted a two-hour delayed opening Wednesday for Bensalem Schools, the district said.

Plunging temperatures overnight are expected to make surfaces very slick Wednesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.

"Untreated water and slush will almost certainly become rock-hard by morning as temps drop well into the teens across most of the area tonight," the NWS Mount Holly office said Tuesday evening. "In addition, winds will make it feel 10-15 degrees colder! Bundle up!"

Students should arrive at their bus stops two hours later than their regularly scheduled time, the district said.
