All NYC schools are closed Monday due to heavy snow

#BillDeBlasio #Extreme #Weather #Snow #NYC

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.

In his proposal, Wesson noted that Obama held a campaign rally at Rancho Cienega Park on Rodeo Road when running for president and that the area already has streets named after presidents, such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
