Students are set to return to class in Boston after an extended February school vacation, thanks to the Blizzard of ’26 that dumped 17 inches of snow in the city and canceled two days of class.

Mayor Michelle Wu has announced that Boston Public Schools and central offices will reopen on Wednesday, while scores of other districts have called for an extra snow day as they continue to dig out from Monday’s whopper of a storm.

“Thank you to all our City workers for the nonstop hard work to keep everyone safe, and thank you to our residents for doing your part,” Wu said in a statement late Tuesday afternoon.

According to the mayor’s office, city crews have removed 165 loads totaling 4,620 cubic yards of snow, creating piles around schools in preparation for removal. The Public Works Department will continue efforts through the week, anticipating even more snow on Wednesday.

“Because of the intensive efforts during this extended period,” Wu said, “including operationalizing large-scale daytime snow removal for the first time ever, we’ve been able to get ahead of more snow expected tomorrow with major thoroughfares clear and passable.”

Dozens of school districts across the Bay State started calling for an extra snow day earlier on Tuesday. Those closed on Wednesday include Acushnet, Avon, Barnstable, Brockton, Mansfield, Plymouth, Weymouth, among others.

This all comes as southern Massachusetts, particularly Cape Cod and the South Shore, is still coping hard with the wrath of the Blizzard of ’26, as local leaders say cleanup and power restoration efforts could take days.
