Winthrop and the entire region got its first taste of winter weather over the past weekend.
On Sunday, Winthrop and the Boston area escaped the worst of the snow that hit the Merrimack Valley and other inland areas of the state.
Just under four inches of snow was reported at Logan Airport from the Jan. 7 storm, compared to a foot or more of snow in some parts of northern Essex County.
The heavy rains from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning had a bigger impact on the operations of the town, as the start of school was delayed on Wednesday morning by two hours.
On Tuesday evening, Superintendent of Schools Lisa Howard sent out a message stating that school would be delayed due to the Coastal Flood Advisory.
Howard stated that there were concerns that the Revere entrance into Winthrop could be closed in the morning due to coastal flooding, impacting the traffic patterns for the school and creating a safety hazard.
