US weather advisories: List of school closures, delays in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Virginia and more
Various areas across the Central and Northeastern United States received winter weather advisories and storm warnings on Monday, December 1. This prompted several school districts to delay or close schools on Tuesday, December 2. Several schools closed or delayed class on Monday too, because of the wintry conditions, according to Newsweek.
As of 6:15 pm Monday, these schools will be closed on Tuesday:
- Massachusetts: The Bement School, Greenfield Center School, Mohawk Trail Regional School District, Neari School and Rowe Elementary, according to a report by WWLP.
- New Hampshire: Several school announced closings for Tuesday, WMUR Manchester reported, including Acworth Elementary School, Alstead Primary School, Barrington Elementary School, Campton Elementary School, Conant Middle High School, Cutler Elementary School, those in the Dover School District and Fall Mountain Regional High School, among many others.
“Widespread school closings are expected in the #HudsonValley on Tuesday,” Washington Post meteorologist Ben Noll shared on X on Monday. “It’s December 1 — happy meteorological winter! The Hudson Valley’s first winter storm is gathering in the Midwest on Monday and will reach the region on Tuesday morning. The National Weather Service issued winter storm watches for Orange, Ulster, Sullivan and Dutchess Counties. Winter weather advisories cover Rockland and Putnam Counties. There continues to be a high chance for school closings on Tuesday.”

With the storm progressing, some schools in Michigan and New York may announce closures too. There may be some delays in the Washington, D.C., area, according to The Washington Post.
Early Tuesday morning, superintendents in Connecticut will decide whether to close schools, WFSB reported. Some schools, however, already decided on a two-hour delay in Pennsylvania, including those in the Bermudian Springs, Gettysburg Area and Conewago Valley school districts. Several schools in Virginia, including Franklin and Albemarle County schools and Galax city schools, also saw a two-hour delay, according to WSET.

NWS said in a Monday forecast, “As the low continues to deepen over New England and the mid-level moisture interacts with the colder air north of the system, much of New England and the Mid-Atlantic will experience enhanced winter precipitation and possible gusty winds, especially inland from the coast, bringing the first impactful winter storm of the season. Although uncertainty remains with respect to specific totals, the threat for significant snow accumulations across the interior is rising, with more than 6″ possible north and west of the I-95 corridor.”
An eagle-eyed photographer captured the moment a shining fireball cut across the sky in southeast New Hampshire early Saturday evening.
Rob Wright, a professional photographer based in New Hampshire, shared dash camera footage of the suspected meteor — which he called a “bright green boldie” — blazing straight downwards while he was cruising through Portsmouth.
“That was one of the best I’ve seen and likely the best I’ve ever caught on camera,” Wright boasted on Facebook.
Wright was approaching a traffic circle in the coastal town when a pulsing yellow light appeared in the sky. It tracked downwards in a straight line and released a brighter spurt of light before disappearing entirely, all in the span of eight seconds, according to the video.
Others in Nashua and Londonderry, both located southwest of Portsmouth and closer to the Massachusetts border, told WMUR that they also saw the suspected meteor.
Several other highlighted sightings around the same time in Dover, Bedford, Rindge, Hooksett and Jaffrey, which are all within a 90-mile radius of Portsmouth, according to the American Meteor Society.
Locals who follow Wright’s work reported seeing the fireball, too. One woman who also lives in Portsmouth commented that she “thought it must have been a firework.”
It’s unclear what exactly the fireball was.
Meteorites present similarly to a fireball when they’re plummeting from orbit — but leave a more obvious impact.
In August, a 3-foot meteor splintered in the air while it was flying over Georgia and left fragments scattered all over Newton County. The explosion caused a sonic boom equivalent to 20 tons of TNT exploding at once.
Pieces of the meteor were found all over the county, including one that crashed through the roof of a home.
Over the summer in 2024, a meteor disintegrated about 30 miles above Midtown Manhattan. The force shook parts of New York City, rattling midday commuters.
Firefighters from multiple northern New Hampshire communities helped battle a blaze at a home near Loon Mountain on Saturday night.
Campton-Thornton Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post Sunday morning that they responded to the fire on Crooked Mountain Road in Lincoln around 7 p.m. Several other area departments also responded and helped shuttle water to the scene from a site in nearby Woodstock.
No one was home at the time and no firefighters were injured battling the blaze. Fire crews cleared the scene around 4 a.m.
