Twin Cities, western Wisconsin schools announce Tuesday closures, delays amid extreme cold
With extreme cold continuing on Tuesday, hundreds of schools in Minnesota and Wisconsin have announced closures and delays.
Minneapolis Public Schools, St. Paul Public Schools, Shakopee Public Schools, Stillwater Area Public Schools, Farmington Public Schools and Lakeville School District are among schools that have announced closures. Benson Public Schools and Eden Prairie School District are among other schools that are starting late. There are many schools also going virtual or e-learning.
The coldest air of the winter season arrived overnight, with an extreme cold warning expiring at 10 a.m. Tuesday as temperatures across the region plummet to the double digits below zero, with even more severe wind chills. Highs in the Twin Cities will just barely break into the single digits above zero. A NEXT Weather Alert is in place.
While many schools were already closed on Monday for Presidents Day, many that planned to be open had to make adjustments due to the cold.
