Tomorrow sounds like an eventful day:

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

The ice is something to watch here.

There's no way school will be called for this storm - there is another storm on the horizon for Sunday/Monday (with a potential for a lot of snow) and this one is "only" supposed to drop 4-8 on the area.

Of course if that 4-8 is followed by freezing rain that makes a lot of surfaces around the region into hockey ice, that will make for a very scary commute for those on the roads - especially for people coming from Long Island.

And I would imagine attendance will be impacted once again.

We'll see...
