Hopatcong, Sparta Schools Closed Again Due to Snow

Winter weather cancels classes for the second time this week.

Hopatcong and Sparta schools will have a second snow day this week on Wednesday.

Both districts announced Tuesday night classes will be cancelled as up to 8 inches of snow and as much as a half-inch of ice is possible by Wednesday evening.

The schools closed Monday and had delayed openings on Tuesday after nearly 10 inches of snow fell.

The latest storm is expected to cause "dangerous" travel conditions and potential power outages as heavy snow turns to ice.
