Road Conditions Vary, With Most Schools Closed
Another storm brings closings to city schools.
Another snowstorm has closed many schools throughout Roxborough and Manayunk Tuesday. With nearly 5 inches of snow on the ground, both public and parochial schools cancelled class.
Though roads are fair and snow has ceased, the 4.5 inches of snow proved too much and both the School District of Philadelphia and Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced closings Tuesday.
