Stating the obvious: Dont travel in a snowstorm

From the Binghamton NWS: "The CIPS analog system produces the Valentines day 2007 storm as the number one analog, and the 1993 superstorm as number 2. Both of these storms produced widespread 1 to 2 foot accumulations across our area with localized areas of 30+ inches."

Guess what... Cornell closed for both storms... Ithaca got 30" (all time record) in 1993 and 18" in 2007...

However, this time the warnings only suggest 10-18" inches of snow but the upside is much higher, in excess of 2 feet. Also the timing of the storm is bad, beginning early in the morning and going throughout the day. People might come to school but then may not be able to get back. I feel like this is a nightmare in the making. Of course the lower amounts could verify. We shall see....
