UPDATE: No Snow Delay in Township

School will open with a two-hour delay Friday.

Chatham Township offices will open on time Friday, though officials confirmed Thursday night that Chatham schools will have a two-hour snow delay. The delay is due to an expected three to five inches of snow expected between Thursday night and Friday morning. NJ Transit will cross-honor tickets systemwide throughout the day Friday.
