Boston Schools Closed Monday, Snow Emergency Declared
Boston will close all public schools and declare a snow emergency in response to an approaching snowstorm forecast for Monday morning.
The planned snow emergency will go into effect at 6 a.m., a statement from Mayor Marty Walsh’s office read. Cars parked on major roads after 8 a.m. will be towed.
“We are still in recovery mode from the recent blizzard and I want to thank residents for their patience as we prepare for the upcoming winter storm,’’ Walsh wrote in a statement. “With up to 14 inches of snow expected, please remember to check on your neighbors, especially the elderly, and always put safety first.’’
Boston Centers for Youth and Families will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. to provide childcare for children aged 7 and older after parents fill out a “short intake form.’’
The Mayor’s statement also asks residents to take public transportation to work Monday morning.
Citizens can also call the mayor’s hot line at 617-635-4500 with any questions about the city’s response to the storm.
