City schools are closed Monday — the first snow day of the entire school year — and commuters braced for a slippery, messy trip to work as a wintery storm was set to bear down on the Big Apple.

Mayor de Blasio announced Monday’s school's closure, as well as the cancelation of all after-school activities, Sunday evening.

Earlier in the day, city Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Esposito said, “I think our most critical time will be [Monday morning’s] rush hour. That’s why we’re urging people to stay off the roads.”

Alternate-side parking was suspended through Wednesday, de Blasio added.

After the snowfall, up to 25 mph winds are predicted to come roaring through the city Monday, making the expected high of 40 degrees feel more like the 20s, experts said.

Then an unusual cold spell is set to settle in through Friday, with temperatures in the low 30s and 20s.

The coldest day of the week will be Wednesday, with a high of 26 degrees. The average for this time of year is 45, said Accuweather meteorologist Dan Pydynowski.

“It’ll be unseasonably cold,” Pydynowski said. “It’s what you would expect in late January instead of early March.” A local winter storm warning began at 1 p.m. Sunday and continues to 7 a.m. Monday.
