With thousands of Ridgefield homes still without power and fallen trees still blocking roads, Ridgefield Public Schools will be closed tomorrow.
The powerful storm that raced up the east coast yesterday with high winds and heavy rain felled many trees in the Northeast.
The northern part of Ridgefield appeared to have borne the brunt of the storm.
Police, fire and crews from Eversource have been busy all day, closing roads, clearing trees and restoring power.
As of yesterday afternoon, some 900 customers were without power. By 9 p.m. that number had increased to 1487 — that according to unofficial numbers from reports on Twitter. The number fluctuated throughout the day and may reflect deliberate shutdowns during restoration.
From the school website:
Due to continued hazardous road and travel conditions all Ridgefield Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 26.
Offices will be open at regular times, except for the offices at Scotland Elementary School and Barlow Mountain Elementary School. Office at Scotland Elementary School and Barlow Mountain Elementary School will remain closed.
