Schools aren't the only things closed for the blizzard Tuesday — as New York City agencies, museums and libraries are also getting a snow day.
With ice, snow and wind hitting the city during Tuesday's storm, the Sanitation Department focused on snow removal. That means alternate side parking has been suspended Tuesday and Wednesday due to snow removal operations. Meters will remain in effect.
The following agencies and institutions were closed Tuesday:
► CITY AGENCIES
► SCHOOLS AND CHILDCARE
• New York City public school and after-school programs
• All schools run by the Diocese of Brooklyn

The city's Parks Department is advising New Yorkers to stay out of parks due to "high winds and low visibility."
• The Brooklyn Botanic Garden
• Central Park's visitor centers (Volunteer activities were also canceled.)
• The Lakeside ice skating rink in Prospect Park (Wednesday morning's Stick & Puck and Freestyle sessions have also been canceled.)
• Asphalt Green (Manhattan pool and fitness centers remained open)
