Although neighboring school districts like Branford closed due to the unexpected snowfall, East Haven Public Schools were already closed due to this week's scheduled winter break. Looks like East Haven students — who have yet to have a snow day this year — have lucked out again!

The National Weather Service's winter weather advisory will remain in effect until 10 a.m. this morning. By then, temperatures are expected to be in the mid- to high-30s, and any precipitation will then change over to rain.
