Snow and thunder. Snow and thunder. Yet again the Northeast is hit with a weird thunder snowstorm and the pile of fresh snow on the air conditioner outside my window is growing and the trees look like they are festooned with cotton balls.

The Mayor declared a a weather emergency on Wednesday afternoon and the Department of Education said it would make the big snow day decision by 5 AM Thursday morning whether or not schools would be closed.

The storm has already caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights, and the Port Authority has closed Newark, Teterboro, and JFK Airports. The MTA suspended all of its bus services across New York City and Long Island for early Thursday.

Children all over Brooklyn are on tenterhooks.

I asked my daughter if she thought tomorrow would be a snow day. “They’re being SO prepared now. Probably not,” she said wearily. But she doesn’t really know does she? Those two glorious words could still greet her tomorrow morning when it’s time to wake up.

The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning through 6 AM Thursday for the city, Long Island and parts of northeastern New Jersey. There’s also a coastal flood advisory through 5 a.m., in parts of Connecticut, New Jersey and Long Island that streets and roadways could experience minor flooding.

There’s nothing cozier than being inside in the middle of the night when it’s snowing outside. The city streets, trees, the cars, buildings, stoops, already white from yesterday’s dusting, are filling with fresh piles of snow. It’s a whole other thing if you actually have to go out in it.

Will it be a Snow Day tomorrow? I’ll let you know around 5AM.
