NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City public schools are open Thursday, despite a travel advisory in effect throughout the city. But all field trips, after-school activities and PSAL events are canceled.

The decision was widely met with criticism, with many taking to social media to express their outrage. The United Federation of Teachers condemned the decision in a statement from President Michael Mulgrew.

"I understand the desire to keep schools open," he said. "The only thing that trumps that is safety. Having students, parents and staff traveling in these conditions was unwarranted. It was a mistake to open schools today."
