Philly is shut down as of midnight: all transit stopped, all airlines' flights cancelled, schools and colleges and universities closed, state of emergency in effect allowing only "essential travel".
I live a mile from work, so I plan to suit up in my GoreTex and trudge in. If things are quiet and well-covered, I'll trudge home again. Many of my colleagues live in the 'burbs, though, and I have often wound up covering for them in blizzards (precious few hurricanes, fortunately).

But, school has already been cancelled for tomorrow... luckily, I was able to hide this information from the kids until all their homework was done! We did a pre-storm gutter clean-out, too. Lots of trees around, hoping this isn't the storm that brings one of them down on the house or cars... Other than that, we've prepared by doing all the laundry & running the vac - advice my mother gave me long ago. Wouldn't want to sit around a messy house with no clean clothes if the power goes out. :) Good luck to all, especially those right in Sandy's path! :) -c On Sun, Oct 28, 2012 at 9:23 PM, jn289 <jn...@verizon.net> wrote: > Well, PA.
