Many New Brunswickers are cleaning up from the messy mix of wintry weather on Monday.
The latest storm brought snow, rain, and wind gusts over 80 kilometres per hour to the area.
As a result, all schools in the Anglophone South School District are closed Tuesday, along with most schools in the Francophone South School District, including in Saint John and Quispamsis.
The closure applies to all students, whether they are learning remotely or in person.
Due to the slippery road conditions, schools in @ASD_South will be closed today. This closure is for students learning remotely and in person.

Route 1 was closed from Saint John to River Glade for several hours Monday evening due to slippery conditions.
That section of highway reopened shortly after 10 p.m. although there are still icy patches as of early Tuesday morning.
The Welsford Volunteer Fire Department said roads in the area are “still a bottleneck,” including parts of Route 7 and Eagle Rock Road.
Meanwhile, the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force said roads are “very icy” and urged drivers to give themselves extra time and leave lots of room between other vehicles.
A number of Saint John Transit routes are currently not running or are operating on a detoured route. An updated list can be found on their Twitter page.
NB Power is dealing with sporadic outages throughout the province as a result of the storm. You can find the latest outage information on their website.
Saint John Energy also had a couple of brief outages on Monday afternoon affecting a few hundred homes and businesses.
