Good evening. Snow trends continue to decrease. The main concerns for Wednesday morning commute to school and work will be icy roads and winds. At this time we plan to remain on time. Any changes to that will be communicated by 6 AM tomorrow. Have a good night.

Just an update on the weather for tomorrow. We intend to start on time and ride the day out as long as possible. Any changes to this plan will be made at 6 AM or thereafter. Have a good evening.
