Milford Schools Will Be Open Wednesday

Milford students will be back in class on Wednesday, unlike several neighboring districts that cancelled school.

In a message, Superintendent Robert Tremblay said students and parents should use caution in traveling this morning, and that bus drivers would be instructed to stop for any walkers that the drivers see on the way to school.

Several neighboring districts, including Mendon-Upton, Holliston, Hopkinton and Medway, cancelled school Tuesday night. But Tremblay made the call Wednesday morning.

At 6 a.m., the temperature in Milford was 9 degrees. The region is under a Wind Chill Advisory from the National Weather Service, with a wind chill factor of as low as negative 14 degrees. The advisory says people should dress in layers, with a hat, if they are going to be outdoors. A wind chill factor lower than negative 20 can result in frost bite in 30 minutes.

The wind chill advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday.
