Well folks, the weather has decided to throw a surprise party—and nobody invited the buses. Starting around 1 PM, snow is planning to pile up faster than homework on a Monday, making the roads too slippery and unsafe for our buses to keep rolling.
So we’re calling it: Northumberland County Public Schools and Offices will be closed today.
Please stay home and build a snowman, practice your Olympic-level hot-chocolate making skills, or simply enjoy not slipping on the sidewalk.
Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see all your smiling (and hopefully not frostbitten) faces tomorrow! ❄️😊
We interrupt your regularly scheduled week to bring you this joyful news: Northumberland County Schools will be CLOSED on Friday, December 5, 2025!
The snow is too tempting, so we're granting a county-wide pass for fun! This closure includes ALL schools and ALL offices. Please stay safe, be kind, and make a memory today!
P.S. Don't forget to thank the meteorologists)!
