| | School Closing News | No Comments

Today, Thursday, January 22, 2026, school schedules across the United States are being impacted by a persistent Arctic air mass and lake-effect snow squalls moving through the Great Lakes and Northeast.

While many districts that were closed earlier this week (Jan 20-21) have reopened, several regions are still reporting delays or “snow days” as temperatures remain dangerously low.
