Snow and Ice Force More School Closures Across Western Lower Saxony on Friday

Local authorities cite unsafe pupil transport, prompting distance learning at most vocational schools.

Overview

  • Counties reporting no in-person classes include Grafschaft Bentheim, Cloppenburg, and both the city and district of Osnabrück.
  • In Grafschaft Bentheim, all general-education schools and the Missionsgymnasium Bardel are closed, while the three vocational schools in Nordhorn teach remotely.
  • Emsland has canceled in-person lessons at general-education schools, with vocational schools online except for the Akademie St. Franziskus Lingen.
  • Osnabrück’s vocational schools plan remote instruction, and on-site supervision is available for students who still come to school.
  • The weather service warns of fresh snow, freezing drizzle, and refreezing moisture, with particularly heavy snowfall expected from Emsland toward the central low-mountain region.
