Boston Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, Mayor Michelle Wu announced Monday, a day ahead of an anticipated direct hit from a nor’easter for much of Massachusetts.
Salem Public Schools also announced a snow day for Tuesday. More snow days are likely to be announced as the storm approaches.
See the full list of school closings here — the list will update as more schools enter days off.

A migrant family from Haiti spoke exclusively with NBC10 Boston about their experience in the Boston area. They recently found a host home in Brookline, Massachusetts, and they’ve been searching for jobs.
It’s been an emotional few weeks for Wildande Joseph and her husband. First, they slept on the floor at Boston Logan International Airport and then in children’s hospital, with their 2-year-old daughter who got very sick.
However, things are now looking much brighter as they’ve been welcomed into Lisa Hillenbrand’s Brookline apartment.
She said her daughter is very happy. When she wakes up in the morning, she says, “Hi, Lisa” and everyone starts the day smiling.
“It’s a delight, and it’s really fun having them. What I realized is there’s so much prejudice against refugees mostly because people don’t know them,” said Hillenbrand.
Hillenbrand said she feels like she has her own personal chef as Wildande loves cooking. In fact, her goal is to open a restaurant.
The couple has their work permits and they’ve been taking English classes. They are open to work anywhere to save money for their future. In the meantime, they’re enjoying their time with Hillenbrand, their new friend for life and their daughter’s new grandmother.
“They are hardworking, they want to learn, they want to be successful, and I feel great helping and I get to understand the refugee crisis from the inside,” said Hillenbrand.
Hillenbrand is impressed by the number of people she’s met at the Brookline Town Hall meetings who’ve been stepping up and hosting families. She’s hopeful in the coming days and weeks that more will do the same.
When you have a winter like this one with not a lot of storms, any snow can be a big deal.
However, Boston hasn’t seen more than four inches of snow in over two years.
Massachusetts is expecting upwards of a foot of snow in some areas, including Boston. There’s an expectation that we could get strong winds along the coastline, near-blizzard conditions on the South Shore and the potential for power outages.
In Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu said they’re hoping to make a decision on whether school will be canceled or delayed on Tuesday by Monday morning, as they get geared up for this significant winter weather event.
“We’re now looking at what’s likely to be several inches and significant snowfall come Tuesday. The city and our teams are monitoring this really closely, we have some planning meetings later today and into tomorrow, where we will make sure that all the preparations for how to best prepare the streets and all the organizations and other spaces for warming and shelter are ready,” said Wu.
The mayor and other city officials will be holding a press conference later Monday morning with more information on Tuesday’s storm.

A year after Dunkin’ teamed up with Ben Affleck for the company’s first ever Super Bowl ad, they’re back with another spot during the big game, much to the delight of Bostonians and New Englanders everywhere.
First teased during the Grammys, the Super Bowl commercial sees Affleck continue on his journey to become a popstar, recruiting fellow Bostonian Matt Damon and Boston sports icon Tom Brady to help him crash wife Jennifer Lopez’s recording session in the studio.
Decked out in amazing (outrageous?) Dunkin’ tracksuits, the DunKings debut their pop banger, “Don’t Dunk Away at My Heart,” much to the amusement and embarrassment of J.Lo.
“There’s no way to watch this campaign and its many outtakes, to try The DunKings Iced Coffee with the fun MUNCHKINS® skewer, or to wear the pink and orange tracksuits without smiling. That’s the genuine, lighthearted connection we want people to feel when they think about Dunkin’,” chief marketing officer Jill McVicar said in a press release. “You can chase your dreams, aim high, and have a laugh while doing it all as part of the Dunkin’ family. Dunkin’ fuels your passions, no matter how ambitious or out there they may seem.”
Social media was loving the ad, with many calling for the coffee and donut chain to drop the merch, and Dunkin’ delivered, announcing it is launching its DunKings inspired menu and merchandise on Monday, Feb. 12.
The DunKings Iced Coffee and Munchkins Skewer will be in stores nationwide for a limited time.
The DunKings Iced Coffee: Ben’s go-to order, and his first-ever official coffee order on the Dunkin’ menu, this drink features classic iced coffee with notes of vanilla combined with cream, topped with Sweet Cold Foam and a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
The DunKings MUNCHKINS® Skewers: Three assorted MUNCHKINS® conveniently placed on a skewer. This treat can be added to any beverage – especially The DunKings Iced Coffee – or simply enjoyed on the go.
Dunkin’ said for fans who want to truly eat like a DunKing, more of the limited-edition menu can be accessed through their mobile app, including:
Everything Encore Breakfast Sandwich: Everything Bagel with Sweet Black Pepper Seasoned Bacon, white cheddar cheese and egg.
Hazelnut Heartthrob Iced Coffee: Hot or iced coffee blended with sweet caramel, notes of hazelnut and whole milk.
Mixed Berry Beats Dunkin’ Refresher: Strawberry Dragonfruit Dunkin’ Refresher with an extra shot of raspberry flavor.
The DunKings’ very own tracksuits and fuzzy bucket hats will be available for purchase. Tumblers will also be for sale.
Starting at 12 p.m. on Monday, fans can dive into the DunKings world with their merch collection, exclusively available at ShopDunkin.com while supplies last.
