A few updates on the snow, as it continues to pile around us:

• As per the DOE, all after school programs are cancelled for today, though no statements have been made about school tomorrow.

• Today’s alternate side parking suspension has been extended into tomorrow to help facilitate snow removal, although meters remain in effect.

• You can see if your street has been plowed remotely via PlowNYC.

• Keep up with any weather-related public transit changes by following @NYCTSubwayScoop.

• Stay safe and warm via tips linked here–and if you have elderly neighbors or neighbors with health issues, please check in on them and be generous with your shoveling abilities!

• Keep in mind that Dynasty Pediatrics is open. If your child needs a sick visit, call 718-282-0022.

• Have a blast at the best sledding spots in Prospect Park, by enjoying a hot chocolate or bowl of soup at one of our local haunts, or just staying indoors and watching movies and TV shows filmed in Ditmas Park.

And of course, however you’re making the snowpocalypse fun, send us photos at editor@ditmasparkcorner.com, in the Ditmas Park Corner Flickr group, or by tagging them #ditmaspark on Instagram.
