LYME-OLD LYME  — Lyme-Old Lyme Schools will be closed Monday with Winter Storm Oriena heading towards the state and possibly bringing up to 12 inches of snow, although totals could be less at the shoreline.  High winds are also expected with gusts approaching 50 miles per hour.

Lyme-Old Lyme Schools Superintendent Ian Neviaser noted in his email Sunday afternoon advising students of the schools’ closure tomorrow that it is a “Snow Day,” rather than a remote learning day, adding, “Please enjoy the day and be safe.”

Old Lyme Town Hall has announced it will also be closed Monday, adding that, “If you were hoping to make a tax payment, note that you may make your payment on Tuesday, Feb. 2, with no late penalty.”

The Old Lyme Emergency Management Facebook page will post weather-related updates as necessary.

It is anticipated that other closures will be announced in due course.
