Baldwin Kids' Snow Day Salon Trip Sparks Outrage
26 Jan
Summary
- Hilaria Baldwin took her children for haircuts during a snowstorm.
- The outing sparked debate about safety and necessity.
- New York City faced severe weather conditions with heavy snowfall.
Hilaria Baldwin recently shared photos of her children at a Manhattan salon getting haircuts, an outing that occurred as New York City prepared for Winter Storm Fern. Meteorologists had warned of dangerous travel conditions and significant snowfall, with forecasts predicting up to 18 inches in some areas. Governor Kathy Hochul had declared a state of emergency, urging residents to stay home.
The decision to venture out during the severe weather prompted a divided reaction online. While some commenters commended Baldwin's parenting and the sibling bond displayed in the photos, others heavily criticized the trip as unnecessary and potentially risky. Critics questioned the urgency of haircuts when hazardous weather made travel difficult.
The Baldwins' outing contrasted sharply with official advisories to avoid non-essential travel. Millions across over 20 states were urged to prepare for extreme weather. This storm was noted as the most significant to hit New York City in five years, leading to widespread flight cancellations and the closure of public schools, with classes moving to remote learning.
