The following announcement was provided by the City of Watertown:

Watertown Public Schools are closed on Friday, January 7, 2022 for a snow day. All offices are also closed.
The Superintendent of Public Works has declared a Snow Emergency effective 12:01 AM, Friday, January 7, 2022. The Snow Emergency shall remain in effect until further notice. On street parking will be banned and any motor vehicle left on the street will be subject to towing.
All Watertown Connector shuttle service is canceled on Friday, January 7, 2022 with service to resume normally on Monday January 10, 2022.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter and stay safe.
So, no matter what happens with the weather tomorrow, Watertown kids will have just one full day of school this week. At least this make it plain as day that town hall, the library, and the senior center are more important to open than the schools to the people making these decisions. That’s not to mention all the restaurants, stores, etc that will almost certainly be open all or most of the day.
Maybe we should have people running our education system in Watertown who want to, um you know, provide education? At this point it’s clear as day they want to hold as little school as possible.
Maybe you should wake up to the reality that we are living in a pandemic AND winter in Massachusetts?
