Philadelphia public schools also announced they would close on Monday. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is closing schools Monday and Tuesday.

On Amtrak, all Acela Express, Northeast Regional, Keystone and Shuttle services for trains originating on Monday will be suspended, officials said.

Riding PATCO won't be available for commuters hoping to travel between South Jersey and Philadelphia either. That service is being suspended early Monday morning.
