As a fast-moving winter storm sweeps across Western Pennsylvania, Central Ohio and parts of the Midstate region, more than 100 institutions have announced school closings and delays near me, triggering major disruptions on Tuesday morning. With snow totals expected to rise in several pockets and travel conditions rapidly deteriorating, educational authorities have opted for full shutdowns, delayed starts or remote operations.
A winter weather advisory remains in effect across Western Pennsylvania until 1 p.m., with forecasters warning of continued flurries and lake-effect snow through the afternoon.
Across the Pittsburgh region, dozens of schools and businesses have moved to delayed or remote schedules. Pittsburgh Public Schools announced a two-hour delay, adding that a final decision on a full cancellation will be announced at 5 a.m., depending on road conditions.
Meteorologists tracking the system reported that the heaviest snowfall, roughly between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., could leave 2 to 4 inches across the city, with even higher accumulation possible in the Laurel Highlands. Snow is expected to taper by 9 a.m., though scattered flurries may persist into the late afternoon.
Authorities have urged residents to monitor advisory pages frequently as updates roll in.
In the Cumberland Valley School District, Tuesday marks the first official snow day of the season. Officials confirmed that there will be no synchronous or asynchronous instruction, as the district is utilising its traditional snow-day schedule. While designated staff are required to report, other employees have been advised to follow standard district procedures.
Much of Cumberland County is expecting two to four inches of snow, with the most intense bands arriving in the early morning. Several Midstate schools, offices and government facilities have also issued closure notices or staggered start times amid poor visibility and slippery road conditions.
Local authorities have cautioned commuters of icy stretches, especially during the morning rush, urging early departures and additional travel time. Temperatures are expected to stay below seasonal averages throughout the week, with forecasters signalling another round of snowfall possible over the weekend.
