    HERE WE GO AGAIN: PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS TO CLOSE FOR WEDNESDAY STORM

    November 6, 2012 | 4:50 PM

    Just when you thought it safe to go outside again, a new storm is barreling down on New York. And that means parks and playgrounds are closing again.

    Yes, this feels like a sick joke, but heed the warnings and stay out of the parks:

    Due to possibility of strong winds, Central Park will be closed from noon Wednesday, November 7 until noon Thursday, November 8.

    All city beaches, playgrounds and parks, in fact, are closed.

    Mayor: We’re closing all @nycparks, playgrounds, and beaches effective from noon Wednesday to noon Thursday.

    Uh-Oh! Parks closed again! That means: empty trash cans, plus no toddlers dropping food plus no careless tourists tossing away half-eaten pretzels plus ………….
    Which means myself and my brethren(including the emigres from lower NYC who got flooded out by Sandy) will just have to hit Fairway again!
    And this time we’re bringing our cousins — the squirrels!
