Happy Friday

Yes, if you woke up this morning without having to go anywhere in a hurry, but if you have to commute to school, or to work - This may be a task you may wish to consider taking some extra time accomplishing.

Messy, wet, slushy and a cold commute is in store for you if you live anywhere in the New England and NYC metropolitan area.

A very wet snow is causing slippery road conditions for the commute this morning.

Several inches of snow have already fallen on eastern Long Island and Westchester and Rockland counties, with some schools delaying start times by one to two hours.

Light Snow Continues to Fall

The large winter storm is slowly moving away from the Northeast coast, but will continue to bring a plethora of hazards to the Northeast through early Saturday. Strong winds, high waves and coastal flooding will impact the coast from New Jersey to Maine, while heavy snow is forecast across some inland locations.

Forecast calls for additional snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Breezy with lows in the lower 30s. North winds 15 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 80 percent.

International Women's Day

When an individual is born a woman, she has to figure out how to be a woman by doing the best she possibly can. She observes other women, reads, listens to her mother, sisters and grandmothers.

Her practice is by trial and error and she eventually decides that being a woman is about adjusting how to do it by the reactions she gets. By being a member of her gender, she learns how to “do” it from watching how others respond to her.

No matter which language she uses, most would agree that being a woman is a huge responsibility.
