A New York City Parks Department truck fell through a sidewalk grate at the edge of City Hall Park in lower Manhattan amid Monday's blizzard.
Nobody was injured, officials said.
Crews are working to tow the truck and then block the area off.
The Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of New York announced that Catholic parish and regional elementary schools in Manhattan and the Bronx will be open on Tuesday, while Catholic parish and regional elementary schools on Staten Island will be closed due to ongoing snowstorm cleanup and safety concerns.
The superintendent says schools outside of New York City will continue to follow their local public school districts' guidance on closures or delayed openings.
Catholic elementary schools in Brooklyn and Queens, which fall under the Diocese of Brooklyn, will follow diocesan guidance.

Governor Mikie Sherrill says New Jersey is making progress Monday as crews continue digging out from a rare blizzard that dropped one to two feet of snow across the state and triggered widespread power outages.
More than 250,000 customers have already been restored, with about 5,000 utility workers deployed statewide. Hard-hit ACE and JCP&L regions are receiving additional crews, and Sherrill expects most remaining outages to be resolved within 24-48 hours.
NJ Transit's Newark Light Rail, River Line, and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail are beginning to reopen on modified schedules, though riders should check the NJ Transit app for updates.
Sherrill said the next major challenge is clearing massive snow piles, especially around bus stops, where plows often push snow into pedestrian areas. Warmer temperatures in the 40s later this week, and even rain, should help accelerate melting.
School decisions are district-by-district. Patterson has already announced it will remain closed Monday, while others are working to reopen as cleanup continues
