"With several inches of snow, poor visibility on the roads, and possible coastal flooding heading our way, New Yorkers should prepare in advance of storm and take the necessary precautions to remain safe," New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. "If you do not have to be on the roads , please stay home."Lucy Yang is in Brooklyn with more. All Catholic Elementary Schools in the Archdiocese of New York closed Tuesday. The day will be a "traditional snow day" with no remote instruction. This includes Catholic schools in New York City and the upper suburban counties.
