Another Snowstorm, Another Snow Day for South Fork Students

Students are getting an unexpected four-day weekend. Administrators in school districts on the South Fork have decided to close Monday as another round of snow is supposed to blast Long Island. 

A winter storm warning is in effect until Monday at 6 p.m. A hazardous morning commute is expected with "near blizzard conditions" throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service. Heavy snow is expected to fall on the East End with precipitation starting before daybreak. Accumulations of four to eight inches have been forecast, along with strong winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour with gusts up to 35. "The combination of strong winds and heavy, wet snow will bring down tree limbs and power lines," the weather service said in a statement at 4:30 a.m. 

The Amagansett, Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Montauk, Sag Harbor, Springs, Southampton, and Wainscott School Districts are closed, as is the Ross School. Classes were also canceled Friday when about five inches of snow dropped on the South Fork. 

Though Southampton Town offices and facilities were supposed to open two hours later than usual on Monday, by 7 a.m. Supervisor Jay Schneiderman decided they would be closed all day. At 6:45 a.m., East Hampton Town announced on its website that all town government offices and facilities would be closed Monday.
