Continue checking here throughout the day for updates on the snowstorm.

The district had initially declared on Wednesday a two-hour delayed opening, but the storm continued through the night and dumped about a foot of snow by daybreak.
The Somerset County Vocational & Technical Schools on Vogt Drive also initially announced a delayed opening, but will instead have a full snow day.
All state government offices will have a two-hour delayed opening.
