All Boston public schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday as a massive blizzard was expected to blanket the city with up to three feet of snow, Mayor Marty Walsh announced Monday afternoon. School was open Monday, but all after-school activities, sports and adult education classes were canceled.

The blizzard, named Winter Storm Juno by the Weather Channel, was expected to dump 20 to 30 inches of snow on the greater Boston area. Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency, and transit officials announced trains would shut down at midnight, BostInno reported.

Institutions of higher education were also preparing to shut their doors ahead of the storm, which was expected to hit Boston late Monday and continue through Wednesday morning.
