BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Even before the first flakes fell, New York City’s first big snowfall of the season was doomed to be a gloomy disappointment for more than a million of its schoolchildren.

Mayor Bill de Blasio made it clear as the city began preparing for the storm that rolled through the region Wednesday and Thursday that students there including ones still attending classes in person would have to log in and work as usual.
