As people from Chicago to New York dig out from a foot or more of snow, the second wave of an Arctic attack begins.
As the Blizzard of 2014 moves out to sea, it’s left a wake of wintery woe behind. As we wrote yesterday, more than 100 million Americans will be affected by the storm.
New York City public schools will be closed on Friday, the first weather-related closure since Hurricane Sandy swept ashore in October 2012. The blizzard is the first big test of newly inaugurated Mayor Bill de Blasio. The city is notoriously stingy with snow days, closing schools less than 10 times since 1978, including Friday. Schools are also closed across much of New England, with Boston announcing their closure more than 36 hours in advance.
