NYC Cancels School

A whole bunch of kids must have done their snow dances: New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg canceled school for the city's 1.1 million public school students on Friday after a massive snowstorm dumped 10 inches of fluff on the city, with more slated to come. It's the second lucky day for New York City school kids this month, but only the fourth snow day in the last six years, the Associated Press reports. The massive snowstorm pummeling the Northeast isn't lucky for everyone, though. Thousands of flights have been canceled across the east coast, and utility companies from Pennsylvania to New England are bracing for power outages due to snow and wind, with gusts up to 50 mph reported. The wind has reportedly helped spread a large fire in coastal New Hampshire.
