Gird your loins New York City! Winter storm Juno is bearing down on the Northeast and the National Weather Service is warning of a “crippling and potentially historic” blizzard with up to three feet of snow in NYC and Boston. For real:

Wow.
And this has Mayor de Blasio in full emergency/panic mode:
"All New Yorkers should stay off the road tomorrow." – Mayor @BilldeBlasio. Watch live on http://t.co/10woiev32p.

"When you can stay indoors, stay indoors. When you can stay off the roads, stay off the roads." – Mayor @BilldeBlasio.

Early predictions could be as much as 3 feet. Could be top 2 or 3 storms in history of this city – @BilldeBlasio @ShimonPro

OK. This sounds really bad. So, what about NYC’s public schools?
They’re open tomorrow:
Snow has to be up to your eyebrows for nyc public schools to close

deBlasio on #WinterStormJuno: "It is so important to focus on safety; don't underestimate this storm." But NYC public schools will be open.
— Athena MacG (@athenamacg) January 25, 2015
Mayor @BilldeBlasio: @NYCSchools are open tomorrow, but after school activities canceled. Schools most likely closed Tuesday.

Eek. Let’s hope the storm holds off until all the kids are home.
New Yorkers and Bostonians are preparing for Juno as you’d expect — with panic buying at the grocery store:

But let’s not overlook what’s probably the real cause of this storm. Killing a groundhog means your city gets turned into an igloo:
@ABC7NY @The_Real_Fly The spirit of the dead Groundhog is coming back to avenge deBlasio.
— TodayTrader (@TodayTrader) January 25, 2015
It's cause he dropped that Groundhog last year. RT @PzFeed: 'We are facing one of the largest storms in the city's history" de Blasio says.
— TodayTrader (@TodayTrader) January 25, 2015
That’s right, Mayor de Blasio: If you thought the death of that groundhog would go un-avenged, you were sadly mistaken. Good luck, sir — you’ll need it.
