NYC Schools All Virtual Tuesday Ahead of Snow

(New York, NY) – New York City schools are shifting to all-remote or “virtual” classes on Tuesday, as a winter storm bears down on the Tri-state area. Mayor Eric Adams says 8-9 inches of snow could ultimately fall on the Big Apple, while the National Weather Service predicts 4-8 inches. Either way, overnight rain should shift to snow beginning around 7:00 AM — which is around the time when kids would be heading to school.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, New York City got rid of snow days, given the experience with remote learning and how that structure was established. Many lamented that fact, noting getting a day off to get outside and play in the snow was a rite of passage during childhood. New York City is under a winter storm warning, while other surrounding areas are under a storm watch. Parts north and west of the city could get up to a foot of snow.
