UPDATE: N.J. school early dismissals due to sleet, freezing rain (Monday, Jan. 8, 2018)
The lingering effects of a blizzard that swept through New Jersey on Thursday followed by dangerously cold temperatures over the weekend have forced some school closures and delayed openings for Monday, Jan. 8.
While temperatures are expected to climb above freezing for much of the state for the first time in a while, many residents woke up to temperatures in the single digits or teens. And there's a potential for another bout of wintry weather Monday afternoon with sleet and freezing rain in the forecast.
Many schools, particularly in South Jersey, had Thursday and Friday off due to the storm.
Here's a list of school districts that have delayed openings and closures for Monday. The list will be updated as additional announcements are made.

CAPE MAY COUNTY
- Dennis Township - 90 minute delay
- Middle Township - 90 minute delay
