Schools Delayed 90 Minutes

Snow continues to fall around Johnston. Upwards of 5 inches are expected.


Johnston Public Schools have been delayed 90 minutes Tuesday morning and morning kindergarten has been canceled thanks to heavy snow that continues to fall around Johnston.

Johnston schools announced the delay Monday evening just after 8, as snow fell steadily throughout the town. The National Weather Service is calling for as much as 5 inches to fall in Johnston. The storm began late Monday afternoon and is expecting to continue dumping the white stuff over much of Rhode island through 4 a.m. Tuesday.

With the storm ending in the early morning hours Tuesday, it could make for a slippery morning commute, so take care on the roads.
