All schools in Bellmore, Merick, and the communities' shared high school district were closed once again on Friday, Jan. 5, as single-digit temperatures and severe wind made traveling unwise in the wake of Thursday's winter storm.
All after-school activities in the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District were also cancelled.
Bellmore and Merrick received roughly 10 inches of snow in the storm that lashed the Island all throughout Thursday. By 9 a.m. on Thursday, a blizzard warning had been issued in Nassau County.
A wind advisory remained in effect through Saturday for the area, and wind gusts were expected to reach 46 miles per hour at times.
