Just ask Matt Glendinning, the head of school at Moses Brown School in Providence, R.I., who announced his school’s snow day with his own “Let It Go” parody, “School Is Closed.” Don’t be surprised if Glendinning has been waiting to break this out for some time — the production value here is suspiciously high for a blizzard that only just took the East Coast by storm. That, or Glendinning should become the faculty sponsor for the film club ASAP. ### East Coast Readies Itself for Up to 3 Feet of Snow  A couple kisses during a blizzard in Times Square in New York City on Jan. 26, 2015.
