SNOW IS HERE! As of 7:30 a.m., over 1.3 inches of snow fell in Central Park, which the Weather Channel called the "first measurable snow since the historic late October snowstorm." And because it's all about snow, the Parks Department is having a snow day at a park in each borough, complete with sledding, hot chocolate, snow angel and snowman contests!

Bronx: Hunts Point Recreation Center (765 Manida St between Spofford & Lafayette Avenues); 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Brooklyn: Prospect Park (near the Tennis House at Prospect Park West & 9th Street); 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Manhattan: Riverside Park (Riverside Drive at 103rd Street); 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Queens: Juniper Valley Park (78th Street & Juniper Valley North); 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Staten Island: Clove Lakes Park (Martling and Slosson Avenues); 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
