Is this "Hot New York City Men" Day at Gothamist? Gifford Miller! Chris Cimino! Hell, I don't have to visit Fleshbot today. Post some photos of Aaron Bailey!

Snow days growing up in NYC were rare, but that just made them all the more special. That was in public school. One of the even cooler things about going to private school afterwards was that many of the students made the commute in from Connecticut and New Jersey, so it didn't take much to close the school at all. I remember we had a couple of snow days a year when the weather was just perfect for going to Central Park.

Man, the Skyways in Minneapolis rock. You never have to go outside, ever! I think my high school got a snow day once. When the school had no power.

I picked the best time ever to stay in NYC for a month. Can't wait for the above freezing period.

I think the sad point for me was when I looked at the weather for Minneapolis, since I'll be there this weekend, and realized the temperature will be about the same as it has been here.

Yeah, why does mass transit have to ruin everything? There's no way we'll get a snow day with the trains running *underground*! I wonder, do NYC kids ever get snow days? I mean, I grew up in the suburbs, so we could count on at the very least 3 or 4 snow days a year. But I feel like it would have to be winter weather armageddon to keep schools closed in Manhattan.
