Class Wednesday March 7

As far as I know right now, class is still scheduled for tonight.

Let me know your thoughts on whether you feel comfortable with having class tonight since that is when that storm is supposed to be at it’s peak.

I won’t penalize anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable/safe with traveling in the expected bad weather.

I live in NJ so even if citytech runs classes I may have to cancel ours since I may not be able to get there/back.

I will keep everyone up to date here on openlab.
