In a post on Facebook, officials from the BPS announced that after school activities like extended learning, rehearsals, and parent-teacher conferences have been canceled. Athletics and Adult Learning has not yet been canceled but may change as weather conditions on the ground begin to worsen.

Many other districts in Erie and Niagara counties are following suit as we are expected to receive some significant snowfall that will make the drive home today difficult.

What Weather Conditions Are Expected

Up to 10 inches of snow is expected with temperatures to remain in the mid-20s for the rest of the month of January. There is going to be a period of time when visibility will be very low, the National Weather Service expects visibility to be below 1/4 mile in some areas.
