Beacon is being pelted with ice rain as the temperatures have been in the 20s this Sunday post-Thanksgiving, with more precipitation predicted for Monday, prompting delays to be announced early.

According to an email sent out by the City of Beacon’s City Administrator, Anthony Ruggiero, City Hall will be opening on a two-hour delay on Monday, December 2, 2019, “for non-essential employees,” he says. It will open at 10 am, pending no additional developments.

Beacon City Schools called for the Monday closure of schools and administrative buildings on Sunday night by 6 pm, a call that most people had predicted, with the double days of snow or ice rain forecasted.

Having just returned from driving through Pennsylvania after the Thanksgiving holiday, we can confirm that the roads are bad, cars have slid off the highway, and some trucks have given up and pulled over - but salt and plow trucks are out on the highways on, what is for some, their first run.

Be safe! Drive slow.
