New York City public schools will be closed on Monday as snow is expected, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
The latest forecasts show 4 to 9 inches of snow are expected in the city, according to the latest forecasts from the state.
“A winter weather warning is in effect from this afternoon until tomorrow morning and we could see as much as 9 inches of snow across the city,” Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo urged New Yorkers to prepare for potentially dangerous travel conditions.
“Extreme weather is the new norm, and we have another anticipated snow event that is expected to impact most of the state tonight,” Cuomo said. “We have learned from experience that it is better to be over-prepared in these situations – if you’re not prepared before the storm, it is too late.”

2. Schools, I hope my kids have school ther is no reason not ithr snow is ending at 3am the streets will be clear by 8:30 for sure so elementary and high school could have school no reason not why should the kids an extra day of vacation for what going on trips if you could do that then you could go to school so I think BR should reconsider there decision
Thank you
There’s wasn’t one snow day yet and this is the last one. Let the kids have one day off. Cancel now.
Why can’t you say if they are closing or not ?? And if you know please let me know thanks
what about Bnos Menachem & Lubavitch yeshivah Crown St.???
guys come on!!!! let the kids have a snow day once and for all!!!
I don’t want to get a call at 6:30 am!
And # 1, bravo, you’re the biggest and the best
We must remember that no one – not even professional meteorologists – truly know what is coming in the future. That applies to weather and all other subjects for that matter. All we can do is appreciate the good intentions and attempts to warn us about what to expect and prepare accordingly.
The last (so called) “big” snowstorm we had, which was about 8 inches several years ago, stopped all the traffic, including city buses.
My workplace, which was about 25 minutes away by car, took me about 2.5 hours to walk to in the snow.
It was the most enjoyable trip to work, I ever had.
hopefully there will be no school tomorrow! this will probably be the last heavy snow till next year! so let the kids have a day off, since they didn’t have any, and will not have any this year!!!!!
How do we know if there will be school tomorrow?
Or do they expect more snow to come?
4-6 inches is NOTHING
And a foot of snow is still, NOTHING!
If this City wasn’t so incompetent with dealing with snow then everyone wouldn’t freak out all the time!
