I think we've had about 8" since last night. It's not snowing that hard, but it is steady. Almost everyone who lives within 30 miles came to work this morning, but one person has already left, several plan to work through lunch & leave early. I suspect more will decide to go as the day progresses. My car had to go into the shop for 3 days of body work so I was out early to get it in, and get back before it's too bad. I only hope enough mechanics can get in to get the work done. The forecast for us is 18-24 inches total by tomorrow. Another forecast said up to 3' for the area Binghamton-Utica, NY, but 2' north of there. Being 5 miles from Utica, I don't know what to really expect.

I work at a residential college, so it never really closes. The students do need to eat & if thier profs. are snowed in they can always come to the library, so I suspect we'll be open for the duration. I walk to work so its not a problem for me. I can go buy food in the dining halls as well. I already have a bunking request from one late night worker.
