They haven't taken a decision yet. However, given that it's already snowed a few inches and it's changed to freezing rain, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't at least a two-hour delay. By 8:00 - 9:00 tomorrow morning it's supposed to be in the 40's, so conditions may well have improved enough by that time that school will open.
