News Summary

York, Chester, and Lancaster Counties are facing weather-related school delays due to an unexpected snowfall. All districts will start classes two hours late on Wednesday. Snow is expected to create slippery road conditions, and a cold weather advisory urges residents to stay bundled up. Parents are advised to be cautious, especially with kids as the temperatures plunge. Understanding each district’s delay schedule is essential for parents and students to adjust accordingly.

Winter Wonderland or Frigid Nightmare: School Delays in York, Chester, and Lancaster Counties

Good morning, folks in the lovely tri-county area! Brace yourselves because the weather forecast has decided to mix it up with a dash of snow followed by a hefty dose of extreme cold. That’s right, if you’re in York, Chester, or Lancaster counties, you might find yourself waking up a little later than usual on Wednesday. All school districts in these regions are kicking off a two-hour delay due to an unexpected blanket of snow that’s expected to cover parts of upstate South Carolina.

Snow, Snow, and More Snow!

According to the National Weather Service, a winter weather advisory has been issued for the area through 9 a.m. on Wednesday. Forecasts predict snowfall ranging from a light dusting to one whole inch along the I-85 corridor. But don’t let that fool you—it’s enough to make the roads a bit slippery, and who wants to take chances while driving, especially with kids on board?

School Districts on the Move

The snow has prompted the four school districts in York County—Rock Hill, Fort Mill, York, and Clover—to all announce a two-hour delay on Wednesday. Additionally, Tuesday after-school activities are a no-go! On the other hand, Chester County schools, which have only one district, are also launching a two-hour delay for Wednesday while canceling after-school programs on Tuesday. And if you’re in Lancaster County, expect classes to start two hours late on Wednesday, with after-school activities wrapping up at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.

Gather Your Winter Gear!

The *early-bird special* forecast includes snow beginning to fall around 2 PM on Tuesday. So, don’t forget to grab your jackets and snow boots! Temperatures are predicted to plummet into the teens overnight, and only creep up to a high of 32 degrees on Wednesday. That’s brisk, to say the least!

In fact, the National Weather Service isn’t just stopping at snow warnings; they’ve also sent out a cold weather advisory for our area with wind chills reaching as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr! Parents in districts like Red Lion Area and West Shore School District are urging everyone to keep their little ones bundled up and cozy.

What’s the Delay Schedule?

If you’re wondering how your school district is handling this wintry weather, here’s the rundown:

Central York: Two-hour delay (no breakfast for grades K-6)
Dallastown Area: Two-hour delay
Dover Area: Two-hour delay (no breakfast)
Eastern York: Two-hour delay
Northern York County: Two-hour delay (no breakfast)
