Buffalo Public Schools Closed Tuesday

Snow squalls, 45 mph winds, and wind chills near minus 15 forced closures in dozens of Northeast Ohio schools, with officials warning of prolonged extreme cold.

  • On Tuesday, Western New York districts including Buffalo Public Schools canceled classes due to snow drifts and dangerous commutes, affecting Amherst, Ken‑Ton, and Niagara Falls City Schools.
  • A powerful Arctic front moved west to east across the region, producing snow squalls, wind gusts up to 45 mph and wind chills as low as minus 15 to minus 20, prompting closures Tuesday.
  • Laurrie said `We all decided to close tomorrow based on the probable wind chill factors and the blowing and drifting snow`, citing safety concerns for roughly 2,000 walkers and 4,500 bus riders.
  • Because Tuesday falls during Regents week, English Language Arts Regents exams will be rescheduled for Wednesday, weather permitting, and Niagara Falls City Schools noted one remaining snow day with possible Easter break adjustments.
  • Cuyahoga County announced limited openings for Tuesday; most offices open at noon while Cuyahoga County Courts and the Justice Center remain open, and residents should contact United Way 211 or use the county's Extreme Cold webpage and warming center map.
